Le deuxième tragédien
Is it because his father was a groom that Adhémar Pomme has a long horse head and a horse- toothed smile? Maybe but the fact is that his head has invariably caused laughter whatever the circumstances, which is the tragedy of his life. After having worked as an undertaker, a theater prompter, a casino bouncer, and so on, and failing at each job, he applies out of desperation to an institution where those rejected for physical reasons can hide and live together. But Adhémar immediately starts... laughing at them and gets kicked out as a result! In the end though, he finds his way as a circus artist.

A young woman is seduced by a soldier whose name she does not know. Pregnant, she asks the colonel to review the squadron in order to recognize him.
Lieutenant d'Artelles
Before the Battle is the English-language title of this espionage melodrama. The first half of the film takes place aboard a French cruising ship, steaming through dangerous waters during WWI. Among the passengers is heroine Jeanne (Annabella), who was once in love with first-officer D'Artelles (Robert Vidalin) but he now seems strangely preoccupied. It turns out that the ship is on a secret mission, which ultimately dooms the vessel to a Lusitania-like death. After the sinking, Captain De Corlaix (Victor Francen) faces a court-martial, and it is at this point that the film clarifies several baffling plot points. Despite its complexity, the story is fairly believable, with the exception of the grafted-on romantic subplot.

Camille Desmoulins
El golpe de estado del 18 Brumario de 1799, que significó el fin de la Revolución Francesa, puso el poder en manos de Bonaparte, el más prestigioso de los generales franceses, sobre todo después de sus brillantes campañas en Italia y en Egipto. Desde 1799, Napoleón no sólo fomentó la difusión de las ideas revolucionarias, sino que, además, se lanzó a la conquista de Europa. En 1804 se autoproclamó emperador de Francia con el nombre de Napoleón I.
