Film Synopsis

Romarin and his friend Tonin are two provincial poachers who are afraid of nothing.  There is no one to match them when it comes to laying a snare, killing a partridge or catching a rare fish.  Whilst Romain, an active fifty-something, amuses himself on his barge, the younger Tonin keeps himself busy with his amorous adventures.  Tonin's latest interest is Nine, the daughter of the grocer Larquus.  On a trip to Toulon, Tonin encounters an alluring Russian princess, Olga.  The latter is in league with a gang of smugglers, who play on Tonin's naivety by getting him to hide a consignment of heroine from the police...
