Synopsis

Léopold, the valet of a celebrated lawyer, becomes so knowledgeable about the French penal code that he acts as an unofficial judge for the criminals of Paris, mediating their disputes. He falls in love with Agnès who is engaged to Doctor Ventoux, who leads a double life as a notorious criminal known as The Cat. He helps the Doctor to plan a major heist in the hope that he will free Agnès to marry him.
