Film Synopsis
Escaped convict Simon Duroc evades capture by the police by ducking into
a cinema and getting a woman he has never met before to kiss him. The
woman offers him a temporary refuge in his home and he gratefully accepts.
Simon's one thought is to take revenge against the person who caused him
to be sent to jail for kidnapping a child. Before doing so, he looks
up his former mistress Martine and his criminal associates. He will
need their help if his private vendetta is to succeed. It all began
five years ago, when Simon conceived a brilliant plan to extort a large sum
of money from a humble bank employee, Monsieur Gallois, by abducting his
little boy.
By posing as a radio announcer, Martine was able to convince Gallois and
his wife that they had just won a fortune, to be presented to them at a special
ceremony at the Olympia. Simon insisted on taking the Gallois' son
away with him so that he could be made ready for the presentation.
It was the easiest abduction ever, and naturally Gallois' employers were
more than willing to stump up the ransom money for the boy's release.
But after his son had been returned to him, unharmed, Gallois demanded a
share of the ransom, and when he didn't get it he denounced Simon to the
police. It is a betrayal that has rankled in the kidnapper's heart
ever since. Now, with the help of his friend Charlot, he intends that
Gallois shall pay dearly for his indiscretion...
