Description -
Life in south France is not the sleepy idyll you might suppose. Local duck and goose farms are being attacked by protestors attempting to halt the production of foie gras. A policeman has been shot by terrorists believed to be Basque Separatists. It is up to Bruno Courreges to get to the bottom of these unrelated events."
