Plot

Gérard, Jean, Phil and Jean-Guy are in the Army, but the Sergeant Bellec who train them do not leave them. The four friends who prefer passing their time playing cards in prison, they remain making all kinds of pranks and are reprimanded, like when they are in charge of re-heating the pool of the Colonel.

By mistake, they send fuel oil in the pool, flood the cave of the Colonel with fuel oil, where they end stuck with the Sergeant and the Colonel. One day, they find a way to escape and take refuge in a farm that the Army wants to requisition because it is located on one of its grounds.

They will help the owners before saying "yes" (or more "no") in front of the Mayor at the wedding ceremony.
