Madeleine, a young teacher from the provinces, arrives in Paris and encounters Pierre Ruffin a seemingly respectable librarian who lives at the same lodging as her in Montmartre. However he comes in one night wounded by a bullet and admits to her that he leads a double life as a gangster. After killing one of his accomplices who has betrayed him, the police net closes in on him. He returns to spend one final night of love with Madeleine before fleeing to Belgium, but he is tracked down by the law.
