Pierre Brochant, a Parisian publisher, attends
a weekly "idiots' dinner", where guests, who are modish, prominent
Parisian businessmen, must bring along an "idiot" who the other guests
can ridicule. At the end of the dinner, the evening's "champion
idiot" is selected.
With the help of an "idiot
scout", Brochant manages to find a "gem", François Pignon, a
sprightly employee of the Finance Ministry (which
Brochant, a tax cheat, loathes) that has a passion for building replicas of landmarks
with matchsticks. Shortly after inviting Pignon to his home, Brochant is
suddenly stricken with dorsalgia while
playing golf at his exclusive country club. His
wife, Christine, leaves him shortly before Pignon arrives at his apartment, as
she realizes that he still wants to go to the "idiots' dinner".
Brochant initially wants Pignon to leave, but instead becomes reliant on him,
because of his back problem and his need to resolve his relationship problems.
He solicits Pignon's assistance
in making a series of telephone calls to locate his wife, but Pignon gaffes
each time, including revealing the existence of Brochant's mistress, Marlene
Sasseur (thinking that she is Brochant's sister, since her name sounds like
"sa soeur"), to his wife Christine and inviting Lucien Cheval, a tax
inspector, to Brochant's house where, in an attempt to disguise his tax
evasion, Brochant is forced to quickly hide most of his valuables.
In the meantime, Brochant is able
to make amends with an old friend, Juste Leblanc, from whom he stole Christine,
and through the evening's events is forced to reassess his mistakes.
