Johnny Keln is cold, cold, cold. He is just the sort of man who would coldly murder his tart girlfriend just because he is tired of her and would then calmly rob her corpse. This is precisely what the young thug does, at the beginning of this film. Soon enough, he takes up with another "girl" to keep him in smart clothes and the usual luxuries. However, she has a daughter who brings out disturbingly human feelings in his dusty heart. He is uncertain how to handle this new development in his life but meanwhile has plenty of work to do in keeping alive and prosperous, because he's not the only unscrupulous hoodlum in Athens.
