Papillon è condannato per omicidio e recluso nel carcere dell'Isola del Diavolo, nella Guiana. Diventa amico di Dega, un falsario relegato con lui in una giungla paludosa. Qui le condizioni di vita sono così insostenibili, che Papillon tenta di fuggire, ma viene riacciuffato. Riesce a rimanere in vita solo grazie a Dega, e tenta di fuggire di nuovo, insieme all'amico e a un altro compagno. Papillon viene nuovamente catturato, in Venezuela. Riportato all'Isola del Diavolo, diventato un relitto umano, vi ritrova Dega in preda alla follia. Ma l'ansia di libertà è più forte.
