What happens

Bar du sud est un film français réalisé par Henri Fescourt et sorti en 1938. Le baron Arnold, un homme d'affaires, emmène sa jeune femme en Afrique où il la charge de séduire le capitaine Olivier, un officier de renseignements. Ce dernier éclaire la baronne sur les activités peu recommandables de son époux : trafiquant d'armes et entrepreneur de révolutions. En représailles, les agents d'Arnold tentent vainement de tuer le capitaine Olivier. Démasqué, Arnold se suicide. La baronne retourne en France et renonce ainsi à celui qu'elle aimait, le capitaine Olivier. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
