Charlie Kohler is pianist in een bar, waar zijn broer Chico heen vlucht als de laatste problemen krijgt met een tweetal gangsters. Kohler raakt verwikkeld in de problemen die de gangsters brengen, omdat hij zelf niet is wie hij beweert te zijn.
Nee, helaas is Tirez sur le pianiste nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
