In an old caravan parked in front of his crumbling estate lives Pompidou - a tubby, pompous, penniless, eccentric, yet lovable aristocrat. He is an elderly oddball who has fallen on hard times.
Pompidou, his butler Hove and their afghan hound Marion are hungry. There's no food in their caravan and no money either. A desperate attempt to find something to eat sees Hove end up in a sticky situation. It's up to Pompidou to get him out.
Pompidou believes that he’s won the lottery, but Hove’s the real winner. A transformation in Hove sees Pompidou bereft, but he won’t allow that to last long.
Pompidou realises a bowl he gave to a friend is worth a million pounds. We see Pompidou and Hove do everything from a haggling in a charity shop to trying their hand at pottery to reclaim it.
