Plot:
At 35, Toni Veronese (Daniel Duval) is a cruel and rigorous gangster. For a rigged boxing match, he fined (5 million francs) a manager protected by the powerful Perez brothers. When they refused, Veronese attacked the Perez properties, which he blew up nightclubs and brothels. Disarmed, Commissioner Claude Joinville (Francois Perier) called on Antoine Bini (Julien Guiomar), a justice-of-the-peace gangster, to put an end to this war. Bini condemns the Perez to pay and they bow before the "judgment". But, when receiving the money, Veronese shoots two bikers from the police and one of the Perez brothers. Resolved to take revenge, the Perez hire a killer to execute Toni Veronese but it is the latter, alerted by Maria, his mistress who kills the killer. Bini then decides to intervene energetically to eliminate the gangster who has become too bulky and he in turn hires Paul Franchi, known as Bebe, and his gang of young thugs. These lure Veronese's gang into a trap and shoot on sight. Veronese miraculously escapes the massacre. Meditating on his revenge, he seals a pact with "Baby" and both burst into action, weapons in hand, at a meeting of "judges" in the middle. It will be their last settlement.
