Jorge, a São Paulo house burglar, nicknamed by the press the "Red Light Bandit", baffles the police by using peculiar techniques. Always carrying a red flashlight, he rapes his victims, has long dialogues with them and makes daring escapes. Afterwards, he spends the profits of his crimes.
He has an affair with the femme fatale Janete Jane, meets other burglars, a corrupt politician and gets betrayed.
