Just released from prison after serving a six-month sentence, Fernand Bastia goes into hiding. He has indeed double-crossed his gang by keeping part of the product of a robbery for himself. Thanks to his sister Marcella, Fernand has taken refuge in a small circus where she works. There, he falls in love with Gina but also arouses the jealousy of Quedchi, a fairground stall-holder who has seen him hiding the stolen money. After a while, Fredo Riccioni, the boss of the gang and his men, manage to trace him...

Fernand Bastia, un truand, a "doublé" ses amis et s'est réfugié chez des forains où travaille sa sœur Marcella. Il a gardé les 14 millions d'un hold-up et a dénoncé le reste de la bande à la police. Certains se sont échappés et Riccioni, leur chef, retrouve la trace de Bastia. Celui-ci après avoir été l'amant de Gina, une danseuse, mourra comme tous ceux qui convoitaient le magot : Riccioni, Quedchi, un gitan, pépé, le second de Riccioni et Marcella.
