A former concert pianist, now the piano player in a seedy Parisian bar, is surrounded by gangsters and hoodlums. He is befriended by a woman who tries in vain to restore him to his former glory, but his own timidity and inability to act lead to tragic consequences for both. (official distributor synopsis)
