A new mine engineer neglects the advice of his retired predecessor. The mine risks to be flooded. In spite of the worries of the old experienced foreman, he fails to take the danger seriously. The tunnels are flooded, and the old retiree comes to the rescue. This film was restored by the CNC based on elements from the Cinematheque of Toulouse.

Bout de Zan is a very precocious young man! When the circus comes to town, he does what any kid might do in this situation--he steals the circus' elephant!!! Later, he sits on the curb with the elephant and begs coins off people--with a sign saying 'blind since birth'. I am not sure if this is supposed to mean the kid or the animal!
