TV cameras are for the first time allowed to film the initiation rite of a postulant at the lodge of the Grand Orient of France. The "recipient" between the blindfolded in the temple before the assembled assembly in ceremonial dress. He advances to the hotel where the venerable master sits, dressed in an apron, white gloves and a wide ribbon that reads the oath of membership in the lodge. "I pledge to keep the Masonic secret inviolably." Before him are displayed symbols: the square, the compass, the book of the constitution and a skull. The apprentice promises to put into practice "the great law of human solidarity which is the doctrine of Freemasonry" and to "practice assistance to the weak, justice to all, devotion to his family and his homeland, and to humanity".
