Charlie's two elder brothers are being harassed by some violent crooks who intend to settle a vendetta.
Critics' reviews
- "Made with enthusiasm and audacity, it still seems fresh."
- "It is a teasing and frequently amusing (or moving) film that M. Truffaut has made, but it simply does not hang together."
- "A superb combination of genre movie and Truffaut's special brand"
