Merchandise has been disappearing and unreliable dealers must be eliminated. For the latter, Henri is assigned two hitmen, Roger le Catalan (Lino Ventura, THE SICILIAN CLAN) and Bibi (Albert Rémy, THE TRAIN). Released as RAZZIA in the U.S., RAZZIA SUR LA CHNOUF thrillingly explores the criminal underworld of 1950s Paris.
