Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

Chut is an exclamation in French, rather stronger than "darn." It is the sort of thing one might say on being caught in a lie, or after hitting one's finger with a hammer. Unlike similar terms in English, this one carries a certain sense of self-mockery. In this French comedy, Fritz (Jacques Dufiho) is a con-man who has reason to say "chut," when he discovers that his phony corporation is being investigated by the police. He hopes to recover the phony stock certificates from his victims and return their money without their getting wise. His partners in the venture have other ideas, as do the police, so the chase is on.
