It goes like this: small-time loser rescues girl from Seine, just so she can rescue him from his catastrophic weakness. She sets about doing this without schmaltz or sentiment, though suffering huge annoyance with him almost throughout.

As for the elevation of the hoods - the ticket price is worth it for that alone, as the saying goes.
