Synopsis

Victor Agardanne, a respectable businessman in Toulon, secretly works as a fence receiving stolen goods. When he is threatened with blackmail over his clandestine activities, he murders the man. He allows an innocent man to be arrested for the crime and be sent to a South American penal colony. When the wronged man escapes from prison, he heads back to Toulon to seek revenge against whoever really committed the murder.
