Marchands d'illusions

L’histoire

De retour de 4 ans de guerre, Victor, excellent publicitaire, pressent l'exaspération des auditeurs devant l'invasion des réclames radio. Il utilise des moyens peu intègres pour recruter l'humoriste au meilleur bagout, allant jusqu'au chantage. Afin d'illustrer une campagne savonnière, il fait la connaissance d'une belle veuve blonde qui refuse de porter des déshabillés olé-olé. À la suite d'un quiproquo, il part à Hollywood tourner des spots de pub et enregistrer des messages chantés par sa brune amie Jean. Heureux temps où l'avion à hélice allait plus vite que le train, la blonde le rejoindra. Ils finiront heureux, mariés et fauchés.
