Film Synopsis

Antoine Pimaï is a young anarchist who rejects all forms of authority.  Having lost his job as a railway worker, he enrols in the navy, intent on causing further trouble.  After several transfers, he is assigned to a ship commanded by Captain Yorritz, who is confident he can bring out the better qualities in his new recruit.  But Pimaï is not yet ready to change his ways and he soon creates an atmosphere of discord amongst his crewmates.  When another sailor takes the blame for one of his stunts, Pimaï experiences remorse for the first time in his life and decides he must desert.  Little does he know that one day he will return, a changed man...
