Louis Bourdin is a puncher in the Paris metro. Stung on detective novels, and secretly in love with Angélique, punching machine on the quay opposite, the idea comes to him to conquer fame and fortune by writing a novel whose plot is simple: taking advantage of Monday, the day when the recipe collected by the RATP's financial train is considerable, particularly daring gangsters will seize this "big box". But alas no one deigns to publish his prose, judging it "too implausible". He then decides to prove the opposite.
