Despite the best efforts of its commander, Captain Hurluret, the barracks of the 51st Rifles has yet to be acquainted with the notion of military discipline. One hapless soldier, Vanderague, tries in vain to reconcile the contradictory orders of his superiors. Fricot and Laplotte, two of life’s natural rebels, are endlessly on work detail, although they create more mess than they tidy up. As his fellow officer, the over-zealous adjutant Flick, busts a gut trying to instil some semblance of order into the regiment, Hurluret opts for a more peaceful life, overlooking the odd misdemeanour and steadying his nerves with the occasional glass of absinthe. But trouble is coming, in the guise of an important visiting general, and Hurluret can no longer get away with running the barracks as if it were a holiday camp. When a party of reservists turns up unexpectedly, there are not enough beds to accommodate them and so Hurluret has no choice but to have several of his soldiers put in jail. As if that was not enough, a block of cheese is stolen and two men decide to desert. When the general arrives, Hurluret half suspects that his career may be over...
