Le Grand Escogriffe (1976)
Un vieil escroc sur le retour, Émile Morland, convainc son ancien complice Aristide de l'aider à enlever le jeune fils de Rifai, un armateur millionnaire. Morland engage Amandine, une jeune comédienne et loue à un certain Tony un charmant bambin nommé Alberto. L'objectif est d'échanger le fils de Rifai contre Alberto et de demander ensuite une rançon à son père. Mais, contre toute attente, Rifai refuse de payer et, trouvant qu'Alberto est un enfant beaucoup plus charmant que son pleurnichard de fils, préfère le garder à la place de celui-ci.
