Summary
Dick and Tony are two veterans of the war in Indochina who have turned
to trafficking to make a living. They accept a commission from a
gangster known as Le Maltais to deliver 25 million francs. When
their employer fails to turn up to claim his money, the two men decide
to keep the money for themselves and buy a nightclub. Anxious that Le
Maltais will one day try to reclaim his money, Dick
and Tony hire a hitman, Pépère, to get rid of him.
Unfortunately, this only makes a bad situation worse...
