Synopsis
Albert (Michel Boujenah) et Moïse (Richard Anconina) Lévy sont issus du milieu juif ultra-orthodoxe d'Anvers mais ne se parlent plus depuis qu'Albert a quitté sa famille pour Paris où il a ouvert un café non-cachère et s'est marié avec Brigitte, une non-juive. Son frère Moïse, lui, respecte scrupuleusement les rites et coutumes juives, s’est marié dans les plus strictes règles, ne sort de son milieu que lorsque son métier d’ouvrier diamantaire l’y oblige et parle occasionnellement à Dieu, qui se révèle à lui au milieu de la fumée et de sons stridents.

Two clumsy French thieves, Anatole and Arthur, plan a spectacular heist: the attack of a freight train which carries from Paris to Brussels the secret funds of NATO. They do not know that another team is planning the same attack, the same one which performed the Glasgow-London Great Train Robbery; the team is headed by "The Brain" (David Niven), a British criminal mastermind whose massive brain is so heavy that, when he has a strong emotion, he cannot keep his head upright. The Brain has also a deal with the Sicilian mafia.

Crochet (literally « Hook », in English) is the dictator of a South American (or a South European) country, where the economic meltdown, the deprivation of liberty and the rebellions are part of the daily lot. Suddenly, everybody betrays him : the Americans drop him, the money he hid in Switzerland disappears, and his wife has an affair with the chief of the country's police and wants to make his lover the new leader of the country. To regain his popularity, Crochet organizes false bombings against himself. But he doesn't know that his wife and her lover had prepared real attacks.

Le colonel (ou général, ou capitaine) Crochet règne en maître sur un pays imaginaire d'Amérique du Sud (ou d'Europe du Sud, puisque les colonels grecs ou Salazar au Portugal comptent parmi les inspirations d'Oury) où déconfiture économique, privation des libertés et révoltes font partie du lot quotidien. Tout comme Somoza au Nicaragua ou encore le shah d’Iran, les américains finissent par le lâcher. Il est politique mort, sa popularité est, naturellement, au plus bas et les problèmes viennent même de sa propre famille : son fils le trahit et passe à la gauche révolutionnaire, tandis que Mme Crochet fomente une insurrection car elle a une liaison avec le chef de la police et veut l’installer à la place de son mari.
