The Corsican Clan, under the rule of the Orsini family, is being challenged by the next generation, younger gangsters who support the candidature of Forestier, an estate promoter. To ensure his election and to get his hands on the city, Forestier stops at nothing and has the Orsini brothers liquidated one by one. During this clearing operation, a little girl is accidentally shot. Her father, Louis Orsini, a former mercenary, decides to take revenge. (Cinematography by Jean Boffety,
