As soon as they arrive at the barracks, the new contingent reveals some characters who will give their officers a hard time. There is the handsome, resourceful man, the technocrat in love, the bootlicker, the "Jamaican" who only moves to music, the shortsighted man... and all the others. Sometimes to see the nurse undress, sometimes to arrange an appointment with a fiancée, sometimes to cuckold the obtuse non-commissioned officer whose wife is volcanic, sometimes to have a free lunch in a great restaurant, the handsome man invariably deploys a wealth of cunning. And each time it is the colonel's servile driver who gets caught instead of him.

In Bab El Oued, during the French colonization, the action takes place against the backdrop of elections. The unemployed Roro, son of skewer merchant Dodièze likes Chipette, daughter of hairdresser Gongormatz.

Creuzeville, uma pequena cidade provinciana com seus bosques, seus campos, suas muralhas, sua missa e seus bolinhos de domingo. Um estranho chega. Ele é um investigador particular em Creuzeville, sobre o qual reina uma antiga família de industriais, um assassinato acaba de ser cometido. A vítima é o ancestral fundador deste pequeno império que superou um homem. Em Creuzeville, dificilmente gostamos de estrangeiros, especialmente se forem vegetarianos, talvez homossexuais, sem dúvida anarquistas como, precisamente, este detetive. No entanto, o detetive por quem o escândalo quebrou quebrou o silêncio da cidade ao ir ao coração de segredos de família até então bem escondidos atrás de persianas roxas. Os assassinatos se sucedem. Atacamos à esquerda - um jovem ecologista - como à direita - um playboy cínico. Continuando a dissecar os móbiles e os personagens, o detetive largou as máscaras uma a uma. E, pouco a pouco, o medo e a violência vão se instalando na pequena cidade.

In order to subdue the conscripts of Chamber 13, a new captain is assigned. He is an adventurer, a nostalgic of his warrior past and the resistance is quickly born within the young soldiers.

Two friends, Philippe and Jeannot, are drafted the same day and assigned to the same place. They have no taste for military life and during the conscription visit they try all they can to be declared unfit for service. They fail and land in barrack room 13, where a bunch of other "rebels" is gathered together, under the approximate control of a stupid warrant officer and a depressing captain.They all still have hopes of returning home soon.Besides Philippe and Jeannot, this motley crew consists of a rich allegedly kleptomaniac snob, a phony queen, an orthodox Jew, a yogi, a hippie, a Belgian, a hermetic poet, an Arab, and that's not the half of it...

Two unemployed men, heavily in debt due to losses at the racetrack, are hired by a criminal mastermind to harass the guests of a hotel he hopes to purchase at a below-market price in order to access a tunnel below the building that leads directly to a nearby bank.
