Film Synopsis
As soon as he is appointed to his new post as superintendent, the
former inspector Chodaque is charged with a delicate mission: to
recover, as quickly as possible, Patrice Rengain. A star
television presenter, Rengain has recently been abducted by a group of
kidnappers who are demanding a billion francs for his release. To
further his investigation, our intrepid police chief ventures into the
studios where Rengain's shows are put together. Brucheloir, the
managing director, lets him into a secret by revealing the true
character of the popular presenter, a man who has nothing but
enemies. This discovery prompts Chodaque to redouble his efforts
in order to fulfil his mission...
