Unknown to their new employers, the General has a billions of Francs deposited in the bank which was entrusted to him for safekeeping by the late Tsar during the 1917 Revolution and which he consequently refuses to touch. Things become more complex when the Soviet Commisar Gorotchenko arrives on the scene in pursuit of the money.
