Le SIGNE DU LION
A middle-aged musician on the point of eviction receives a telegram informing him that he has inherited a vast amount of money from his aunt. Following celebrations he learns that this is false and he has in fact been disinherited. With all his friends and associates away either working or on holiday, he finds himself a down-and-out on the streets of Paris without any money.
