Film Synopsis

A gang of drugs traffickers are running a highly lucrative operation on the French Riviera.  Large consignments of opium are loaded into crates, which are dropped off from a yacht in the Mediterranean at an agreed spot.  Alerted by a tip-off, the police turn up en masse and arrest the individual who has come to collect the illegal drugs.  To everyone's surprise, this turns out to be a notable personage from a nearby village.  Meanwhile, one of the traffickers falls out with his crooked associates and ends up getting himself killed.  This allows his wife to return to the man she has loved in secret for many years...
