A bumbling bureaucrat becomes a mob boss's hostage — chaos ensues, obviously.
Fernand, a simple employee at the Prefecture of Police, must serve as a "sheep" to extract confessions from a leader of organized crime, who has recently been in prison. But he managed to escape by taking Fernand hostage.
