Beautiful Gaby meets a romantic jewel thief in the mysterious Casbah.
Pepe Le Moko, a thief who escaped from France with a fortune in jewels, has lived in and ruled the impenetrable Casbah, "native quarter" of Algiers. A French official insists that he be captured, but sly Inspector Slimane knows that a king cannot be arrested in his own palace. Things however start changing when Pepe meets beautiful Parisian visitor Gaby, who reminds him of the boulevards to which he dares not to return...and arouses the mad jealousy of his Algerian mistress Ines (Sigrid Gurie).

Prologue: " Where blazing desert meets the Mediterranean, and modern Europe jostles ancient Africa. A stone's throw from the modern city, the native quarter, known as the Cabash, stands like a fortress above the sea. Its population includes many tribes and races, drifters and outcasts from all parts of the world ... and criminals who find this a safe hiding place from the long arm of the law. Supreme on these heights rules one man, Pepe le Moko, long wanted from the French police."
