Jour de fête (1949)
Un petit village de province prépare sa fête patronale. Les enfants se réjouissent et les adultes s'affairent, tandis que les forains installent leurs attractions. Gentil mais maladroit, François, le facteur, offre à tout le monde une aide embarrassante. Sa contribution à l'élévation du mât de cocagne l'emplit de fierté et de commentaires pour le reste de la journée. Le grand jour venu, François voit dans une baraque foraine un documentaire sur la poste aérienne aux États-Unis. Piqué au vif par les quolibets, il annonce son intention de faire une tournée «à l'américaine» et s'élance aussitôt sur son vélo. Le résultat tient plus de la comédie burlesque que de l'exploit technologique...
