Two pals ,a wealthy man's lazy son and a pork butcher want their old mate, a pharmacist who exploits his customers' naiveté to sell them useless medicine , to join them for a binge ; as he refuses,partly because of his authoritarian missus who runs a girls school, they forge a notification for a military training period .

This is pure coarse comedy , very old fashioned ,but sometimes funny thanks to Pierre Larquey ,proudly wearing his uniform of lieutenant , then dressed up as an English girl scout,complete with wig and skirt .The barracks and the girl scouts camp provide the movie with a source of good gags .

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
