A poor vegetable peddler in Paris runs afoul of the law and finds himself ground up in the cogs of the corrupt French judicial system.

Crainquebille, a poor vegetable peddler in Paris, is accused of having insulted a policeman, and finds himself ground up in the cogs of a Kafkaesque judicial system. When finally released from jail, his bourgeois customers shun him; but at the point of suicide he is redeemed by an orphan newsboy (Jean Forest) who is even poorer than he is.
