Plot
The mechanic Pierre Gauthier runs his own garage until he gets disappropriated because his grounds are required for a new airport. Together with his wife Thérèse, their two children and his moody mother-in-law he has to move. Due to his friendly nature he renders all kinds of services to everybody who asks him for a favour. When he helps a businessman whose car has broken down in the middle of the night, he is offered a new job. In the course of working for his new boss he discovers that he loves aviation. When he informs his wife he wants to be a pilot she is shocked but eventually she learns to understand him and becomes a pilot herself too. Little later she breaks a record concerning long-distance flights.
