When the crew of a Breton fishing boat in the North Sea begin to fall mysteriously ill, the captain, La Guellec, tries to summon help via radio. His efforts are frustrated when the radio breaks down and he has no other option but to send out a distress call via short wave radio. His message is received by an amateur radio enthusiast, hundreds of miles away in Togo. The latter finds a doctor who diagnoses that the crew have gone down with food poisoning after eating cured ham. Unless the crew receive an anti-botulism serum within the next twelve hours they will all die. Without a second to lose, the radio enthusiast sends out a call to Paris, which is received by college boy Jean-Louis. The latter tries to relay a message to another doctor, only to find he has recently died. Infected with Jean-Louis’s enthusiasm, the doctor’s grieving widow shares the cost of purchasing the vital medicine and races to the airport, hoping to persuade someone to take it to Munich, where it will be collected by another radio enthusiast. After numerous mishaps, the parcel is soon on its way to Oslo. But will it arrive in time to save the twelve men aboard the stricken trawler...?
