Alfred Jones works as a translator and letter-writer in a chocolate factory in Vevey. He gets acquainted with Anna-Luise, daughter of Dr Fischer of Geneva. The latter became a millionaire by selling toothpaste and lives in a mansion in Versoix. He is famous for the parties he gives at his house. The parties are always attended by the same people. Though wealthy, all these characters are in one way or other dependant on Dr Fischer which allows him to humilate, despise and belittle them during those parties. Only Jones doesn't allow himself to be mocked which greatly displeases Dr Fischer.
