PARTICIPATING TROOPS
Inspector Mélodie discovers on his desk a file that has been pending since 1956: the case of the Man on the Motorcycle. Remember: at the end of the song, we find his panties, his motorcycle boots, his black leather jacket with an eagle on the back. But the motorcycle and its driver have disappeared! We have to face the facts: the Man on the Motorcycle has been hiding in French song for 60 years and has managed to cover his tracks. But Inspector Mélodie and his trusty accordion are determined to find his trail...
