When one lands on the scaffold of painter and decorator Augustin (Bouvril) and another land on the concert hall where conductor Stanislas Lefort (Louis de Funès) is practising with his orchestra, the two French men find they have to help the men escape to the safety of the neutral zone. When three English airmen (including Terry Thomas) are shot down over Paris they parachute into the Nazi occupied city.
