Le Costaud des Batignolles (1952)
Las d'être chétif, malingre et l'objet de plaisanteries des mauvais garçons du quartier, Jules, coursier-livreur chez un grand couturier, pratique chaque matin de la culture physique intensive et suit un régime sévère. En vain. Chétif, il l'est, chétif, il reste. Jusqu'au jour où un baiser de Nénette, rencontrée lors d'un cambriolage, lui donnera une puissance inhabituelle. Dès lors, rêvant de gloire sportive, il se rabattra sur un numéro de foire "Avec qui voulez-vous lutter ?" .
