Plot

[edit]

Clement (Gabin), a condemned murderer literally minutes away from the guillotine, is "liberated" when the Nazis bomb hit the French jail that holds him. During his escape he steals the uniform and identification papers of a dead French soldier. He then hides from the law by joining the Free French Forces in French Equatorial Africa. Clement's new identity and purpose in life reform him. In the end he sacrifices himself in service of his country.
