Storyline

In a palace of Paris. Two detectives are investigating a two-years-old murder. Emile and Francoise Chenal are putting pressure on Jim Fox Warner, a boxer manager, who owes them a huge amount of money. But Jim also owes money to the Mafia, and it seems the boxing match he is counting on to bail out will not be sufficient... Written by Yepok
