action
The Algerian war is the subject of a televised debate in which sociology professor Paulet (Jean Vigny) denounces the methods used by Capitaine Kapitän (Jacques Perrin), who was killed in 1957.
Caron's widow Patricia (Nicole Garcia) is outraged by the accusation against her husband and decides to sue Paulet. Her uncle, chairman of the bar (Georges Wilson) refuses to plead for her. Patricia hires a friend, the young lawyer Valouin (Claude Jade). But when the two women learn that Paulet is being defended by the successful lawyer Maître Gillard (Charles Denner), they bring Patricia's uncle in. The nineteen days under the command of Captain Caron are being reconstructed in court. The former subordinates of Caron at the head testify and it turns out that Caron did not come to the head of the battalion until the day after the execution of an Algerian traitor. Caron only appeared to restore order. Eighteen days and not nineteen! Caron is not responsible. But here, too, doubts remain about the Caron case. The professor is convicted of defamation, the "honor of a captain" is saved.
