Storyline
A worker, called in a hurry to remove the snow in the city street, try to buy his remaining gifts in the tumult of Christmas eve without quitting his work.
It's a snowy Christmas Eve in Montreal. As such, it should be a busy day for snowplow operator Leopold Z. Tremblay, if he can only get his snowplow to start. It does end up being a busy day once he does get his snowplow going, but he is busy not doing work but running his planned Christmas errands such as going to the bank for a loan so that he can buy a mink coat for his wife Catherine and hockey equipment for his son Jacques, picking up Catherine's sexy entertainer friend Josette who is in town for the holidays for a singing gig, going to midnight mass which he's never missed and where Jacques, a singer in the church choir, is performing a solo, and then perhaps attending a late performance of Josette's. Leo's plans may be thwarted by his friend and boss Theophile Lemay, who wants Leo to get back to work and who is tracking Leo throughout the city. But as Theo finds then loses then finds Leo again, Theo obviously has other things on his mind as well, which results in among other things Theo dispensing a little Christmas Eve advice.
