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...© James Travers
