Story: A Dutch companys owner bankrupts his own company, burns the incriminating ledgers and plans to run to Paris with the company funds but he is caught in the act by his accountant who challenges his actions, leading to a reversal of roles.

Meek head clerk Kees Popinga realises at the same time as the police that owner De Koster has stripped his Dutch company clean because of his infatuation with a Parisian girl, Michelle. After a confrontation between the two men, De Koster ends up dead and Popinga makes off to Paris with the remaining money. There he contacts Michelle, with the police in close pursuit.

Married with two children, middle-age milquetoast Kees Popinga has led a responsible, staid and uneventful life, the last eighteen years as chief clerk at three hundred year old Julius de Koster and Sons in Groningen, his meticulous bookkeeping his pride, for a company that too prides itself on a stellar reputation. Having never traveled farther than Amsterdam, Popinga has romanticized the notion of trains, specifically the exotic places one can travel on them. When he learns that his boss, Julius de Koster, Jr., has systematically been robbing the company for "a woman", the thefts hidden from his bookkeeping, with the company on the brink of financial insolvency because of them, Popinga seizes upon an opportunity for that life he has only always dreamed. With a caseful of company money, a train ticket already inside the case, Popinga hops a train to Paris to live the high life with de Kosters woman, Michèle Rozier. What Popinga is unaware of is that Michèle only pretended to be in love with de Koster solely for the money, which she planned to abscond with with her lover, Louis. As such, she believes meek Popingas come-on to her a joke, that is until she discovers he has the money. Conversely, what Popinga is aware of is that Inspector Lucas of the Paris police suspects him of several crimes most specifically the theft of the money as Lucas had previously approached his suspicions of both de Koster and Michèle in something illegal in investigating the flooding of Paris with Dutch currency. What Lucas is really concerned about beyond the crimes themselves is catching Popinga before he does something worse than he has already done, such as murder.
