Race for Life

While fishing in the North Sea, eleven out of twelve crew members of the Lutece, a fishing boat from Concarneau, get poisoning after having eaten rotten ham. The only one unscathed is Mohammed who, as a Muslim, does not eat pork. The situation is serious for the eleven victims: if they do not get a serum quickly, they will all die. Luckily, Captain Le Guellec sends an S.O.S. which is picked up far away in Togo and then in Paris by Jean-Louis, a young radio amateur. A chain of solidarity is created in the hours that follow.
