Famed French comic Fernandel cannot do much for this uninspired mystery story with intended comedic overtones by director Leo Joannon. Fernandel plays Albert, the unhappy brunt of jokes by his fellow office-workers who goes from the frying pan into the fire. Albert gets caught up in a robbery that also goes from bad to worse when it leads to several murders. Although he is not a killer and essentially innocent, there does not seem to be very much that Albert can do to convince others of the truth. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
