Jacques Feyder also contributed to the film in the role of artistic director.

This story involves Madame Rose, a hotelkeeper in a Paris suburb who will stop at nothing, including murder.

Other characters include one of her former accomplices who carries a suitcase full of cash, a kindhearted street vendor, the gangster's mistress, and the landlady's daughter, Simone, who dreams of a better life.

Although Feyder was ill at the time, according to Françoise Rosay (his wife) he was asked to supervise filming because various members of the crew had no confidence in the young and inexperienced director, Marcel Blistène.
