Synopsis
Eusèbe Bonbonneau, a solicitor's clerk, discovers that a candidate is running for Chamber of Deputies. It becomes clear that a corrupt businessman is pushing a candidate, having usurped his identity, in order to secure backing for a new casino project.

He wins and is elected as a deputy where he becomes an unwitting tool of corrupt interests.
