Anyone could enjoy this film without speaking a word of French (assuming no subtitles.) The action is clear with long dialogueless passages reminiscent of silent films, making complex plot points entirely visually. The hero makes a living by kidnapping dogs from rich people, then returning them for the reward. He falls in love, serves time in prison (in a crazy comedy sequence), sings a song, and finally reforms and gets the girl. Simple, sweet, and enjoyable -- all qualities that require massive talent and effort on the part of the participants to achieve!
