Synopsis
In 1880, the criminal called "The Face" is responsible for a murderous rampage in France. When the Brisson Bank is robbed in Paris and employee Michelle is murdered, wealthy knight Lucio del Gardo is the only chance to save the bank. Chavalier proposes to the owner M. de Brisson to deposit a large quantity of gold, but in exchange he would like to marry his daughter Cécile. However, Cécile is in love with the efficient clerk Lucien Cortier who belongs to the working classes and refuses the engagement. In order to get rid of the rival, Chavalier uses evidence to incriminate Lucien, manipulating the incompetent Paris police chief.
