Monsieur Benoit Pinglet is married to a domineering wife, but longs for Marcelle, the beautiful but neglected spouse of his next door neighbor and best friend, Henri Paillardin. Henri is an expert in architectural anomalies and has been hired to investigate strange sounds at the Hotel Paradiso. The management claims the sounds are cavorting ghosts, but Henri believes they are the result of faulty drains. He plans to spend the night at the hotel to prove his hypothesis. Benoit coincidentally arranges for him and a reluctant Marcelle to meet at the Hotel Paradiso for a tryst that is intended to punish their respective spouses. In the meantime Mathieu, the Pinglet's friend, appears with his five daughters in tow and announces that he will visit them for one whole month. The Pinglet's protest that their house is too small and that he must find a hotel instead. So Mathieu and his brood end up at - you guessed it - the Hotel Paradiso. So one wife, two husbands, a bungling friend, five chatty daughters as well as a saucy maid and Henri's shy nephew all end up at the same hotel on the same night, sometimes in the same room and sometimes in the same bed. Oh, did I forget to mention the police raid?! Well, you get the idea.
