English title: The Troops on Vacation
The Saint-Tropez gendarmes are forced into retirement. They have a hard time adapting to an idle life. When they hear that one of their squad is in a mental hospital with amnesia, they set out to rescue him. Later, they must stop a bunch of kids who plan to launch a nuclear missile.
This fourth installment of the Gendarme franchise deals with the problems of retirement in middle age. The humor is very bland and aimed at a very undemanding public. However, the general idea of a bunch of (not very) old guys looking for something to do and clinging to old times has a certain pathos to it.
