Pépé le Moko, one of France’s most wanted criminals, hides out in the Algerian Casbah. Protected by his gang, he eludes the authorities and capture, all the while knowing the police will be waiting for him if he ever tries to leave the city. When Pépé meets Gaby Gould, a gorgeous woman from Paris who is lost in the Casbah, he falls for her. She also reminds him of all the things he loved about Paris. Even though Pépé knows he is being closely watched by Inspector Slimane, he considers a future with Gaby.
