Synopsis:
The great manoeuvres referred to, which occur in the atmosphere of the
First World War, are not military ones but rather love ones. Armand, a lover
with a bad reputation, bets against other soldiers that he will seduce the
beautiful Marie-Louise. Soon his reputation is at stake, and one rival, out of
sheer jealousy, reveals the secret of the bet.
