Paul Liski (Marcel Dalio), boss of the French drug ring, recruits a master criminal Henri Ferré alias "Le Nantais" (Gabin) who returns to France from America. Liski needs to improve efficiency of distribution of drugs, and Ferré, assisted by a pair of hitmen, begins his work. A legal cover for Henri is a restaurant Le Troquet. Soon Henri starts an affair with the restaurant cashier Lisette (Magali Noël). Meanwhile, the deeper Henri gets into the drug trade, the more successful the police become...
