Fernand Gravey and Jacques Duby star as a pair of slick race track touts in need of some quick cash. Targetting rural rube Jean Richard as a patsy, the two sharpsters con him into putting up his hard-earned cash on a few sure things. Within what seems like seconds, Richard becomes wealthy by using his instincts, while the “clever” Gravey and Duby come a-cropper by playing the odds. If it’s possible for a French film to be Runyonesque, then Courte Tete is that film.

Quote:
In the third episode, an earl reads the announcement of a widow looking for a husband and hosts her at the castle to marry her, only to discover that it is death. He offers her, in exchange for his own, the life of his governess; death accepts as long as she is consenting and untouched. By marrying her and with a trap, the count manages to voluntarily cause the housekeeper to die but is hit by the hearse carrying his wife’s remains. The driver, to the protests of the death, replies: dead certain hora incerta. Suddenly the count wakes up and discovers that it was only a dream but he hears a car ringing, he looks out the window and sees that the widow who appeared in the dream has just arrived saying that she is the woman from the announcement.
