A French private investigator with a shady past is engaged to find the missing son of a wealthy Jewish family. Our hero gets the job because his ex partner (he was a Police Officer in Paris before some bust went bad) is now married to the daughter in the family.
The trail quickly leads to a white slavery ring dealing in children and thereafter it becomes pretty much standard private detective fare. If illegal drugs were substituted as a plot element instead of the exploited children this would be just another average movie, but as it was, I felt that the filmmakers were hoping some prurient interest in these children and their predicament would make this film somehow more interesting. I hope not as it would mean that the film-makers (as well as the `bad guys' in this film) are exploiting the children.
