Riviera Tramp

Robert is tramping across the south of France, aiming to meet his friend and patient, Barty, in Italy. As part of the challenge he has set himself, he is working and hitching his way across to Italy, not having brought any cash or cards to finance his journey.

Annabel is on her way back via Nice, to Monaco, after a gruelling business trip. She drives a top of the range red jaguar car. Annabel, on route from Nice airport, feeling exhausted and worried she might fall asleep at the wheel, parks in the car park at the start of the Promenade des Anglais, to take fresh air before driving on to Monaco.

Robert is sleeping as a tramp under the promenade. Prostitutes are using the car park as a base in order to serve the airport trade.

When Annabel is mugged she screams for help and is rescued by Robert.

Robert thinks she is a prostitute and she thinks he is an alcoholic tramp. Subsequently, they sit together and as they converse, they warm to each other, but they don't expect their meeting to be more than a passing of two ships in the night.

But later they make love in her jaguar. They part, but don’t realise they have fallen in love.

The story shows how they get back together
