Biography
Victor Garnier, a French dealer for hunting equipment, was convinced by the bank manager to invest his money into certain shares, however they eventually became worthless, which ruined Garnier. He believed it was the manager's fault for being the one who convinced him. Inspired by a sermon from the local priest, Garnier decided to take back what is his by robbing the bank. As his house (which included the store) was at the exact opposite side of the street, he ordered his wife and children to help him to dig a tunnel. However, while they were busy digging, they were also facing complications as at one point, the tunnel collabsed, temporarily burrying Garnier's son, as well as as a spontaneous visit by some relatives. Eventually though, they were able to enter the bank's safe which was filled with gold bars. However at this point, they were paid an unexpected visit by an employee of the bank who was in love with one of Garnier's daughter. Despite the employee's protests, the family was able to take the gold, however they weren't able to blow up the tunnel as they planned. Still, Garnier was overjoyed to finally have his money back. However, when the bank manager, who had noticed that the gold was missing, came to his store, Victor realized that the gold bars were fake. He tried to blackmail the manager into paying him his money, otherwise he'd tell everyone about the fake gold bars, but the manager replied that he would tell everyone about the bank robbery then. He still promised to get Garnier's money back, but just as they are about to talk about equipment the bank manager wanted to buy, the awaited explosion of the tunnel occured.
