Synopsis by Hal Erickson
With his business in the doldrums, travel agent Grandpa Piuff (Sinoel) comes up with a cute gimmick. Why not book customers on a "surprise" voyage, with no set itinerary or destination? Vacationers are delighted with the notion, and before long a group of tourists and sightseers have embarked on a journey to goodness-knows-where. Their revelry is threatened by the wicked machinations of rival travel agent Grosbois (Rene Bourbon) and larcenous political insurrectionist Mikhail (Etienne Decroux).
