Tony Martin and Marta Toren reprise their 1948 Universal film roles as Pepe Le Moko Stealer of jewels and women's hearts and his love interest Gaby. Some may regard Pepe Le Moko as only a thief but he was a magnificent thief and such a romantic man, a singer of songs, a lover of women, a man of great qualities, a man to be loved and to be hated. Certainly he was hated by the police of the world but in the Casbah in Algiers he was safe, he was king guarded by the fifty thousand souls of the native quarter.
