Pierre Martel (Pierre Richard-Willm), a young Parisian businessman, is brought to financial ruin and disgrace through the extravagant lifestyle that he pursues with his lover Florence (Marie Bell). Forced to leave the country, he joins the Foreign Legion, as Pierre Muller, and seeks to submerge his own despair in a new life in North Africa alongside other unhappy refugees such as the Russian Nicolas (Georges Pitoëff). When not on campaign, they lodge in a cheap hotel run by the greedy and lecherous Clément (Charles Vanel) and his sadly stoical wife Blanche (Françoise Rosay), who passes the time by reading the cards to tell her customers their fortunes. When Pierre encounters Irma (Marie Bell) working in a local bar as a singer and a prostitute, he finds her almost identical to his former lover Florence, except for her voice and the colour of her hair. Irma is vague about her past and Pierre becomes ever more obsessed with the apparent reincarnation of his old love. They live together at the hotel, and when Clément forces himself on Irma, Pierre kills him in a struggle; Blanche makes it appear to be an accident. When Pierre's term of service finishes, he and Irma plan a new life together back in France where he has now inherited some money. But on the eve of their embarkation in Casablanca, Pierre happens to meet again the real Florence, now mistress to a wealthy Arab, and his feelings for Irma are shattered. Having duped Irma into returning to France alone, he re-enlists in the Legion. Blanche's cards foretell a brave death for him in his next campaign.

Une troupe théâtrale rôde en province sa nouvelle revue, Mille Jambes Nues, mais se retrouve en panne à Périgueux, victime des caprices de la vedette, Lola Garcin, puis abandonnée par le producteur. Marcel, le musicien ; Nicole, la débutante-doublure de Lola ; et Olga, une star sur le retour, prennent les choses en main. Le groupe monte à Paris dans l'espoir de s'y produire, attend tout de la capitale et le chante (« On ne voit ça qu'à Paris »). C'est pourtant la désillusion : l'argent et l'enthousiasme manquent ; la crise est générale et il faut avoir recours à diverses combines à la limite de la malhonnêteté. Grâce à Olga et à la complaisance d'une concierge qui se souvient d'elle, on peut vivre dans un théâtre vide et répéter… sans piano. M. Bernoullin, vendeur d'instruments de musique, serait prêt à en céder un si Nicole passait une soirée avec lui. Mais Marcel met le holà et Olga achète un instrument avec ses économies.
