A down‑and‑out crook on the run hides in an Italian port city and befriends a sly street‑urchin. Though initially amused by the boy’s petty thefts, he tries to steer the kid away from a life of crime. A desperate woman, hoping to claim the reward on the fugitive’s head, alerts the police, who begin hunting the two fugitives across the harbor’s shadows.
