Summary
After a bloody hold-up at an oil refinery, a gangster named Toni takes
flight with a vast sum of stolen money. In a train bound for
Paris, Toni finds himself in the same compartment as Justin Mignonnet,
an eminent philosophy professor who is on his way to a conference on
metaphysics. At gunpoint, Justin allows Toni to hide the stolen
money in his suitcase and agrees to hand over the money at a specified
hotel the following day. Everything might have gone according to
plan if a rival gang was not just as determined to get its hands on the
stolen money...
