**Plot Summary:**
John Robie, known as “The Cat,” is a retired jewel thief suspected of a series of burglaries on the French Riviera. When the police arrive at his villa to question him, he escapes and seeks refuge at a restaurant owned by his friend Bertani. The restaurant’s staff, once part of Robie’s gang, resent him because their paroles are at risk while the new thief remains active. Robie manages to evade the police again with the help of Danielle, the teenage daughter of his former associate, who harbors a crush on him.
Determined to clear his name, Robie decides to catch the new thief in the act. He partners with an insurance agent, H. H. Hughson, who provides a list of wealthy jewelry owners currently on the Riviera. Among them are Jessie Stevens, a wealthy widow, and her daughter Frances. Robie befriends them, though Frances quickly sees through his facade. Despite initial suspicions, their relationship deepens, culminating in a passionate kiss during a fireworks display.
The next morning, Jessie’s jewels are stolen, and Frances accuses Robie of using her as a distraction. When the police arrive, Robie vanishes, leaving his innocence in question. This thrilling tale of deception, romance, and intrigue keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
