Synopsis
Cinq gangsters organisent l'achat d'un gros lot de drogues. Moreau, l'un d'entre eux, alors qu'il se rendait en train à Marseille pour compléter le marché, a été volé et tué par l'un des quatre autres, Christian Jabeke, qui a étudié un plan audacieux et construit un alibi presque inattaquable grâce à sa voiture de sport rapide, avec laquelle il réussit à faire un voyage "retour" Paris / Bruxelles en un temps record. Jabeke, habile comme quelques-uns, en plus de vouloir tout l'argent, a une histoire d'amour avec la belle femme de Valoti. Trop sûr de lui-même, Jabeke se trahit lors d'un entretien avec Paoli et est contraint de le tuer, un fait qui précipitera les événements.Actors
