Géo Paquet, aka "the Gorilla," escapes from prison with help from the outside. His imprisonment is only cover for his work as top agent in the intelligence service. The D.S.T. is worried about the disappearance of military aviation plans and "the Gorilla," on his own and wanted by the police, handles the case. (official distributor synopsis)
