[edit] Plot summary
Three convicts escape from prison on Devil's Island just before Christmas and arrive at a nearby French colonial town. They go to the store of Felix Ducotel, the only store that gives supplies on credit. Whilst there, they notice that his roof is leaking, and offer to fix it. They do not actually intend to fix it, but decide to remain there, until nightfall, when they will steal clothes and supplies, and escape on the ship waiting in the harbour. Arnold (Humphrey Bogart) says that he will forge passports and tickets for them to use, saying "For me, forgery isn't a job, it's an art."
