Υπόθεση:

In a college, three friends form a secret society. Their objective: going to America. Nights, after one of their secret meetings, one of them see a man coming out from a wall. Then the day after he talks about it, he disappears. Then the second one vanishes. Are they gone to their dreams? That’s when the art teacher is murdered. Suspicions now are too high so the third one decides to investigate.

In the college of St. Agil, three boys, Baume, Sorgue and Macroy, form a secret society »Les Chiche-caponsÂ«. Each night, they sneak away from their dormitory and meet up in the science room to have an illicit smoke and plan a clandestine voyage to America, under the watchful gaze of their mascot, Martin the Skeleton. One day, Sorgue mysteriously disappears and a fortnight later his friends receive a postcard from America in his handwriting. Baume and Macroy agree that they must follow him to America, but a few days later Macroy also goes missing. When the art teacher, Lemesle, is killed in mysterious circumstances, Baume decides that desperate measures are needed to uncover the truth. No one can be trusted, least of the entire sinister English teacher, Monsieur Walter, who is known to have had a grudge against Lemesle. Then Baume also disappears...
