Juliette wishes to sell her villa but is really
disappointed that no prospective customers walked that
way. The sign ‘For Sale’ has been there since a month
but the villa appeared not to interest anyone. Juliette
confesses to her maid that she was so fed up that she
would do anything to get the wretched place off her hands.
She starts doubting whether it was sensible to ask for two
hundred thousand francs. The villa was located near
French Hollywood and was in reasonable condition but
no one seemed interested to buy it. Meanwhile the maid
requests Juliette to give her an off since she had been
offered the role of a maid in a movie. Juliette is surprised
to discover that the maid was going to earn a hundred
francs just for a day’s work. The maid surprises Juliette
by suggesting that even she could act as a cook and earn
quite a bit of money. Juliette is amazed to know that the
entire locality was busy taking up one role or the other
in movies.
As Juliette retires for relaxation, two customers,
Jeanne and Gaston are ushered in by the maid. They are
a young couple. From their conversation, it is evident
that the wife Jeanne is more eager to buy the villa. She
wants to buy it for her parents and her sister’s family.
Gaston is very business-minded, very shrewd and he is
least interested in making any investment for his wife’s
family. Meanwhile Juliette makes an appearance. She
pretends to be very proud of her villa and single-handedly
announces that the villa perfectly suited the personality
of the customers. She flatters the young couple, calls
them ‘exceptional’ that the villa was according to their
taste. Juliette hikes up the price and then brings it down
to two hundred thousand francs and pretends to do a
favour to the couple. Gaston is totally irritated by now
and makes it very clear that he has no intention of
purchasing the villa. As they are leaving, Jeanne expresses
a desire to see the upper floor. Both Juliette and Jeanne
go upstairs.
Gaston is busy cribbing when the maid ushers in
another customer, Mrs Al Smith. Mrs Al Smith mistakes
Gaston to be the owner of the villa and expresses her
desire to buy the villa. Initially Gaston just wiles away
the conversation but his business-instincts are aroused
when he discovers that Mrs Al Smith is really interested
in buying the villa. Mrs Al Smith was an actress. She
wanted to buy this villa to make a new house near
Hollywood. She has loads of money but has no time to
inspect the house or go in details. Gaston quotes three
hundred thousand and to his utmost surprise the lady
hands him the cheque and makes a quick departure. In
the meantime Jeanne and Juliette come back. Jeanne is
astounded to discover that within a short while Gaston
has changed his mind. He gives a cheque of two hundred
thousand to Juliette and walks out, smiling to himself,
with his wife. The transaction had been quite worthwhile,
chuckled Gaston to himself.
