Summary
A reformed bootlegger, fresh from inheriting a railroad of cash, swaps his speakeasy swagger for pinstripe respectability, only to glide into Paris on a perfumed breeze of optimism and discover that the City of Light keeps its sharpest knives under silk gloves; what follows is a champagne-laced danse macabre where Riviera grifters, velvet-gloved sirens and marble-staircase aristocrats choreograph a slow-motion pickpocket ballet around the self-made émigré, every gilded salon a moral house of mirrors, every whispered confidence a fuse ticking toward the moment he must decide whether the straight-and-narrow is another con or the only gamble left worth taking.
Synopsis
When an underworld figure inherits a fortune, he goes straight and endeavors to become a respectable businessman. But on a trip to Paris, he encounters a few not-so-honest types who think he is ripe for picking.
