Jacques, the brother of her friend Danielle, is so exasperated by her behavior that he decides to give her a chance to learn about good manners. To that effect, he kidnaps her and detains her in a hut on the edge of a wood. He starts "taming the shrew" but the situation soon gets out of control when criminals - real ones this time - abduct Micheline in earnest... and for ransom!

Who’s in it. Driving Lesson stars Odette Joyeux as Micheline, Gilbert Gil as Jacques, Jean Tissier as Frédo and André Alerme as Mr. Granval, among others.
