The scene is French
Guiana, a region where on Christmas day
the temperature has graciously dropped
to 104 degrees. Three convicts are
employed as roofers by a family, whose
roof is in desperate need of
maintenance. On the way from France is
an evil-minded cousin, to oust the
father of the family from his business,
and his cold-blooded nephew, who is
jilting the father's daughter for an
heiress. The three convicts—two of them
murderers, the third a swindler—take the
visitors on. All three have warm hearts
and are passionate believers in true
justice. Possessing every criminal art
and penal grace, they set matters right
and in doing so redeem themselves as
real life angels to the grateful family.
