"Mon Curé " (my vicar) is a shy priest ,whose goal is to help the poor .As one of the privates , an aristocrat ,went over the wall,the vicar is asked to replace him in the barracks : as this naughty soldier is to fight in a boxing match,after events including warrant officers,corporals ,military slang (which the vicar learns by singing with his mates!),umbrellas and toothaches ,the vicar winds up on a ring . How a weak priest ,armed up with love ,a hat ,an umbrella and a breviary became the regiment's champ.
