Synopsis:

When François, a journalist, is touring a big store for an article, he is chosen by the son of the owner, Rambal-Cochet, as his new toy. All afraid of the despotic industrialist who is also the newspaper's owner, François is forced to agree to this masquerade. Becoming the friend of the child, he induces him, who wants to make a newspaper, to unveil publicly the real tyrannical way of life of his father.

In this French farce, a wealthy young boy decides to teach his father a lesson by buying a man and employing him as his living plaything. The film was later remade in America and called The Toy, starring Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason.

A journalist, out of work, is forced to accept all the extravagant caprices of his boss' son. He becomes his "toy". But he will manage to change his mentality.
