Synopsis
Under Bonaparte, the French army begins its campaign in Italy.  Two soldiers, Flicot and Le Gouce, are sent on a reconnaissance mission, but they manage to lose their horses when they encounter a pair of Italian lovers.  Whilst looking for their horses, the two soldiers arrives in the village of San Angelo, which is almost deserted because of the fighting.  Meanwhile, the captain who sent our two heroes on their mission is half-convinced they have deserted and sets out to look for them.  When the captain and his men arrive in San Angelo, Flicot and Le Gouce fabricate an implausible story in which they fought a brave battle against the hostile locals.  The two soldiers are fêted as heroes, until their deception is revealed...
