The story revolves around the life of a wealthy Parisian banker named Monsieur Jules Dabbadie, who is faced with financial difficulties due to his extravagant lifestyle and poor investments. His daughter, Louise, is engaged to a young man named Paul, but the couple's marriage is in jeopardy due to the lack of a dowry. In an attempt to save his daughter's future, Monsieur Dabbadie decides to sell his luxurious mansion and move to a more modest apartment. The family's lifestyle changes dramatically as they adjust to their new circumstances. However, Monsieur Dabbadie's financial woes continue, and he is forced to seek the help of his estranged brother, who he had previously shunned due to his humble lifestyle. As the story progresses, Monsieur Dabbadie learns valuable lessons about the importance of financial responsibility and the true meaning of family.
