After being appointed to the Académie française, Duchemin decides to retire as a restaurant critic and trains his son Gérard (Coluche) to continue the family business.

Gérard, Jean, Phil et Jean-Guy sont à l'armée, mais le sergent Bellec qui s'occupe d'eux ne les lâche pas d'une semelle. Les quatre compères préférant passer leur temps à jouer aux cartes en prison, ils restent à faire des bêtises et à se faire taper sur les doigts, comme quand ils sont chargés un jour de réchauffer la piscine du colonel. Par erreur, ils envoient du mazout dans la piscine, inondent la cave du colonel de mazout et se retrouvent coincés avec le sergent et le colonel. Un jour, ils parviennent à s'évader et se réfugient dans une ferme que l'armée veut réquisitionner parce qu'elle se situe sur un de ses terrains. Ils aideront les occupants avant d'aller dire « oui » (ou plutôt « non ») devant Monsieur le maire.
