Les quatre marchands d'armes Al Costello, Manuel Prado, Henry Mail et O'Brien ont fait fortune avec leur entreprise et cachent leur or dans une île. Contre l'avis d'O'Brien, le métal est contaminé radioactivement pour cinq années. O'Brien oblige le physicien nucléaire Bob Carel à mettre un point une méthode de lavage afin de profiter de l'or avant. Il disparaît ensuite comme Costello et Prado après un attentat à la bombe.

In the bourgeois circles of Europe after the Great War, can anything save the modern man? Harry Haller, a solitary intellectual, has all his life feared his dual nature of being human and being a beast. He's decided to die on his 50th birthday, which is soon. He's rescued from his solipsism by the mysterious Hermine, who takes him dancing, introduces him to jazz and to the beautiful and whimsical Maria, and guides him into the hallucinations of the Magic Theater, which seem to take him into Hell. Can humour, sin, and derision lead to salvation?
