This story is set in a little mountain community lost in the French mountains in the early years after World War II. Jules [Fernandel] is a lonely shepherd, gently going about his daily business. His relationship with his neighbour, a widow named Fine [Marcelle Ranson] is a sour-sweet romance. One day he finds a bomb-like object in the fields... When he discovers the vast amount of large banknotes inside, his tranquil life changes and his troubles start! Not knowing what to do with his newly gained fortune, he first tries to put the money in a bank. Later, he buries it all in an underground container, build by the mason [Paul Préboist, a well known French stand-up comedian and actor]. When he invites the village to a banquet and eventually starts distributing the loot, now nicknamed 'Cressus', he attracts high suspicion from the people in the village. All ends with two gentlemen coming to collect the money: the container fell from an aircraft during the war, the money was fake...! Morale: why does anyone need money and riches while having an easy life with nature all around that provides for all the needs? All ends well with Jules proposing to Fine and everybody lived happily ever after!
