Les surdoués de la première compagnie

Feb 4, 1981

As soon as they arrive at the barracks, the new contingent reveals some characters who will give their officers a hard time.

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.
