In this action comedy the French boxer Jo Cavalier (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is charmed on the train to Berlin for the Olympics in Hitler's Germany by the little boy Simon Rosenblum (Rachid Ferrache) who asks his autograph; when it turns out his adorable young fan is a Jewish orphan in danger of persecution, he risks his one shot at Olympic glory to save Simon and his family, helped only by a German officer-gentleman who became his friend in World War I, by an adventurous escape to Switzerland, Nazi troops on their heals and braving impossible odds in roller coaster-style.
