Mort en fraude par jean Hougron
(Dans les années 1950, entraîné dans un trafic de devises,...)
Dans les années 1950, entraîné dans un trafic de devises, Horcier, un petit employé français, est poursuivi par des tueurs à Saigon en Indochine (colonie française). Il trouve refuge dans le village de Vinh-Bao, en territoire Viet-Minh (c'est-à-dire non occupé par l'armée française), où il découvre les conditions de vie des habitants soumis à l'armée Viet-Minh : la famine, le pillage des récoltes de riz et la maladie. Horcier prend peu à peu parti pour ce peuple...
