A bank robber, the Villain, returns after 20 years absence to hide at his mother's place. Maniette, his mother, is naive and bigoted. He couldn't find a better place to lie low. But Maniette discovers her son's true nature and decides to set him on the right path. A duel, as farcical as it is merciless, ensues between mother and son.

Un braqueur de banque, le Vilain, revient après 20 ans d’absence se cacher chez sa mère, Maniette. Elle est naïve et bigote, c’est la planque parfaite. Mais celle-ci découvre à cette occasion la vraie nature de son fils et décide de le remettre dans le «droit chemin». S’ensuit un duel aussi burlesque qu’impitoyable entre mère et fils.
