Boireau n'est pas mort

To stay near his love, Boireau becomes her valet but is fired when her mistress intercepts his letter. He attaches his small car to his sweetheart’s vehicle, leading to a wild chase that ends in his eviction by the driver. Desperate, Boireau fails multiple suicide attempts: a car rolls over him harmlessly, a gun misfires, and a rope snaps. Finally, he jumps out a window into a manhole, only for a sewer worker to catch and return him to the surface. When the worker laughs at Boireau tracking his idol, Boireau slaps him furiously.
