Synopsis

The congress of a league against alcohol is due to be held in the wine-producing Burgundy region. This divides two brothers Pimpin Desbordes, a heavy-drinking merrymaker who organises the winemakers against it, and the puritanical Commissioner Desbordes who backs the initiative. Meanwhile, Rose, the daughter of an innkeeper, falls for the representative of a tonic water brand.
