Crime, Drama, Romance

Vallois, a vice inspector for the Paris police, takes special interest in the plight of drug-addicted Lucky (Najda Tiller), whom he considers to be more victim than criminal. Taking it upon himself to wean Lucky away from narcotics, Vallois also wins her love -- and, incidentally, smashes the dope ring responsible for her addiction.

Plot

When the middle-aged police inspector Georges Vallois is assigned to investigate the murder case of a drug dealer, the suspect is his addicted mistress Lucky Fridel. But soon Vallois and Lucky have a love affair and he believes she is innocent and needs rehab.
