- Synopsis:
- Set in Paris during the days before WW I, the story-line intertwines the destinies of three people. Guy Rolfe plays Phillipe de Ledocq, a resourceful safe-cracker who always manages to elude arrest. Eric Portman is cast as police-chief Maubert, who will not rest until Ledocq is behind bars. And Nadia Gray is Madeleine, the woman beloved by both Ledocq and Maubert. Just as Maubert has managed to capture his man, Ledocq is released at the behest of the government, who wants him to steal secrets from the German embassy revealing the whereabouts of the Kaiser's secret agents. And just how does Madeleine figure into all of this?
