Three social rejects plan an elaborate bank robbery. Ticky (Michael Dunn) is the dwarf and mastermind of the caper who is hopelessly in love with his female accomplice. They plan to murder the daughter of a bank president and replace her with a look-alike at the victim's private school. She manages to get all the keys to the strongboxes, and Ticky and his other accomplice make off with the loot. Ticky kills the man when he suspects he will make off with the money. He stands on shore as the woman masquerading as the banker's daughter swims out to sea. She would rather die than be loved by the hideously malevolent dwarf. Bernard Fresson, Jane Birkin, Claude Brasseur and Andre Pousse also star in this crime drama.
