Depuis octobre 1914, la première guerre mondiale s'enlise dans la guerre de position sur le front de l'ouest. Fantassin au 60e Régiment d'infanterie, Lucien Bersot, maréchal-ferrant et jeune père de famille, fait son devoir de citoyen au front. Il attend impatiemment sa prochaine permission pour revoir sa famille. Mais le destin, sous la forme d'un pantalon en a décidé autrement. En effet, au moment de s'équiper avant l'arrivée au front, on lui attribue un pantalon de treillis blanc, au lieu du pantalon garance de l'uniforme de l'armée française, car il n'y en avait plus à sa taille. Lors de la revue de troupe, un officier exige qu'on lui octroie un pantalon réglementaire, or celui que le sergent fourrier lui propose est taché de sang, déchiré, car il provient d'un cadavre. Bersot refuse de le porter. Ce refus d'obéissance lui vaut d'être interné jusqu'à son passage en cour martiale. Deux camarades de Lucien Bersot, se dressent contre cette injustice et en informent le colonel. Celui-ci ayant appris que des soldats défaitistes déserteraient dans les tranchées veut faire un exemple. L'entrevue tourne au malentendu et les deux soldats sont enfermés eux aussi. Le procès qui s'ensuit est à sens unique car le colonel qui préside la cour abuse de son pouvoir. Celle-ci condamne les frères d'armes de Lucien Bersot aux travaux forcés et ce dernier à la peine capitale. Le défenseur du pauvre soldat le lieutenant Guérin, l'ayant vu combattre, tente de le sauver en allant demander la grâce du général. Malheureusement l'artillerie ennemie pilonne le chemin qui y conduit et voue cette tentative à l'échec. Le soldat Bersot est fusillé le lendemain à l'aube pour l'exemple devant les nouvelles recrues et le reste de ses camarades.
