Dax, who was a criminal lawyer during peacetime, hopes that his regiment will be relieved from front-line duty. The high command has other plans. The generals General Broulard (Adolphe Menjou), corps commander and suave representative of the high command, arrives at the placid, beautiful chateau that serves as headquarters for General Mireau (George Macready), the divisional general in charge.
