Antoine Cardot is tried in France for killing some gypsy children with

Antoine escapes and makes his way to the gangsters’ hideout. Here
he meets the leader, Charley, his mistress, Sugar, and his
protégée, Pepper. Mattone and Pepper want Antoine
dead but Charley and Sugar, realizing that he is hiding from the
murderous gypsies, agree to protect him Antoine. Aware that the
