A bank robbery is to be filmed in a jeweller's job in Marseilles.  Without the director's knowledge, the actors are replaced by crooks who run off with their loot.  The police's investigation brings them into contact with the music hall scene in Marseilles.  Through a well-known performer, Fred Maurin, and his young protégée Lily, they uncover the ringleader of a band of crooks.
