Synopsis
After a bank robbery, the gangster Saget is on the run from the
police. A passing motorist, Ludovic Mercier, offers him a lift
which he accepts gratefully. Mercier is on the way back to his
home town, Chatenay-la-Rivière, having spent the last 25 years
in America, where he amassed a fortune. Half-drunk, Mercier
manages to crash his car into a bridge. Saget, unharmed, takes
Mercier’s identity papers and his money before dumping the body into
the river. He then falls unconscious. When he comes to,
Saget finds himself in a doctor’s clinic in Chatenay. To his
surprise, the doctor who tends to his injuries appears keen that he
should get away with passing himself off as Mercier, even though he
knows this is not his true identity. The only person in the town
who dislikes Saget is Isabelle, known as the Devil’s Daughter because
her father was a crook. Saget soon realises the doctor’s motive
for protecting him...
