Two companies are in fierce competition to carry out the publicity for the new American 'Floc' washing machine, with two teams led by Jean-François and Catherine. They both go to Portugal to try to tempt a jolly washerwoman to come to Paris to take part in the launch and both teams try to eliminate the competition. Catherine manages to find a suitable candidate, Mariana, but Jean-François manages to get her to follow him to Paris by offering to marry her.
