The film, conceived in two parts, documents the bodybuilding contests held at a theatre in Cannes, August 15 (11 minutes - selection of the French champion), and August 16 (9 minutes - selection of the most handsome man in the world). These short news reels were presented in French theaters as of August 23, 1948, and presented some of the athletes' background, the joy of physical culture in gyms and at the beach, starlets in bikinis, and a moment of wrestling.
