An employee (Marcel) at a jewelry store meets two thieves -- a man (Jo) and a woman (Loulou) -- at the races. Marcel feels attracted toward Loulou and she in turn thinks he may somehow be useful to them in a robbery of the jewelry store. It so happens that the jewelry store's owner's daughter has her mind set on marrying Marcel.
Comedy which depicts the Parisian underworld. Its excellent cast enlivens a serviceable but otherwise not especially remarkable script. The opening sequence is set during a motor-paced racing event. It's funny that that sport exists since the 19th century and I had never even heard of it.
