A small-time crook wants to break his older brother out of prison. He takes a policeman hostage to exchange him. The last scene takes place in Le Bourget. Note: during the negotiations to obtain a plane, he asks to leave from Le Bourget. Commissioner Dekervan (played by Raymond Pellegrin) refuses, saying that "it will be Corbeil"... The action takes place in Aéroport de Paris-Le Bourget ... because there is neither airport nor airfield in Corbeil!
