As they ride towards a well-deserved permission, Blutch and Chesterfield witness the murder of two Southern soldiers by a troop of robbers. Collecting the last wishes of one of the dying, Chesterfield promises to bring his medallion back to his fiancée... That's how our two friends - disguised as Mexicans - are heading towards the southern territories. Undoubtedly they will be taken for the deceased Confederates. And discover that they were part of a secret plan to win gold. A lot of gold. Enough for the South to win the war... Additional concern: one of the soldiers accompanying them to recover the maggot is none other than the son of a certain General Lee... Blutch and Chesterfield will manage to get hold of the mythical treasure of the Southists? Fred Neidhardt, at ease on many registers, slips happily into the boots of the Blue Tunics, with a lot of humour and culture. The inexhaustible Lambil is, as always, impeccable.
