By chance, he meets Lucien de Rubempré, an impetuous and eternally lovestruck man who crumples whenever he is rejected. Moved by this vulnerability, Collin takes him under his wing and does everything he can to ensure his protégé’s happiness, even resorting to the most devious schemes and scams, with the help of a gang of cunning rogues.
