Synopsis
Worn down by the troublesome behaviour of his rebellious son François, Maître Gérane, a well-known lawyer, has him interned in a  psychiatric hospital.  The two doctors who treat the wild young man cannot agree on the best way to treat him – Dr Varmont favours a classical treatment, whilst Dr Emery prefers a modern approach.  François knows that he is not crazy and so plans to escape, together with another patient named Heurtevant, hoping to that his girlfriend Stéphanie will provide him with shelter...
