Pepe Le Moko ( Charles Boyer), a thief who escaped from France with a fortune in jewels, has lived in the impenetrable Casbah ( the "native quarter" of Algiers) for two years. A French official insists that he be captured, but sly Inspector Slimane knows he need only bide his time. The suave Pepe increasingly regards his stronghold as his prison, especially when he meets a beautiful Parisian visitor ( Hedy Lamarr), who reminds him of the boulevards to which he cannot return.
