A lighthearted 1950s farce built on escalating deceptions and physical comedy, where greedy relatives compete to fake terminal illness for an inheritance.

The old Valmorin died 200 years ago. The notary tells the family about the inheritance: the one who is terminally ill will receive the money. They all try their luck with getting ill before the other so one family member pretends to be deaf, another pretends to have a terrible back ache and so on...
