The whole clique of Cruchot's police station is retired. Now he lives with his rich wife in her castle - and is bored almost to death. He fights with the butler, because he isn't even allowed to do the simple works. But when one of the clique suffers from amnesia after an accident, all of the others reunite and kidnap him, to take him on a tour to their old working places and through their memories. In their old uniforms they turn St. Tropez upside down. (imdb)

Probably the last good "Gendarme" (and the last with Jean Lefebvre and Christian Marin).

The first ten minutes are redundant, but the good news is that there's no big quality dip after that: the plot turns the tables as the gendarmes essentially go rogue, and the funny scenes prevail throughout even though vapid ones (e.g. the hippies, the whole amnesia bit, etc.) aren't absent here and there. "Le gendarme en balade" might not exceed expectations, but is a reliably breezy offering nevertheless.
