Synopsis
A criminal organisation assigns French gangster Henri Ferré to optimise the operations of an existing narcotics ring in Paris. The bar „Le Troquet“ serves as a front for these activities. The bar's cashier Lisette has a crush on him right from the start. Even so, Henri Ferré's main interest is to assemble all persons who have a significant part in the drug trade. Because of that he is increasingly suspected to have a hidden agenda. Finally it turns out he is an undercover agent who strives to dismantle the organisation once and for all.
