The pattern of a string of jewel robberies on the French Riviera causes the police to believe that the infamous jewel thief John ‘The Cat’ Robie has left his comfortable retirement of growing grapes and flowers. The staff is his old gang, paroled for their work in the French Resistance during World War II as long as they keep clean.
