Monsieur Duclos était banquier et avait une seule fille de vingt-cinq ans. Il travaillait dur à cause de sa fille chérie. Chaque semaine il avait cinq réunions, dans son pays natal ou à l'étranger. Quelquefois il en avait marre de tout ce va-et-vient.
Le trois juin, il a pris un jour de congé pour la première fois depuis longtemps car sa fille allait se marier ce jour-là. Le deux juin au soir, sa dernière réunion finie, il est allé à l'aéroport, vexé car selon lui, tous les aéroports se ressemblaient et le temps qu'on y passait était du temps perdu. Il est monté dans l'avion pour rentrer chez lui, content à la perspective de passer cette journée spéciale avec sa famille et de célébrer l'heureux événement.
L'avion a décollé à huit heures pile. Mais soudain il a entendu la voix du pilote qui annonçait un retour imprévu au point de départ du vol. Alors le malheureux Monsieur Duclos a fini par manquer les noces de sa fille unique.
