Synopsis
At the request of Albatrasse, Ludovic orders a large consignment of rifles from Pedro Wassewich, a notorious gunrunner.  Pedro lives with his wife Lola in a villa, the basement of which is filled with armaments.  Lola wants to leave her husband and tries to have an affair with Ludovic, but he resists because he wants nothing to get in the way of the operation.  Ludovic, Pedro and Lola pay a visit to a man named Jeff who will transport the guns by ship the next night.  Abatrasse is suddenly arrested by the police and everyone thinks there is a traitor in their midst...
