Léopold is a valet who, after many years of devoted service to a distinguished lawyer, has acquired a thorough appreciation of the French legal code. It is something that he puts to good use in his spare time, when he associates with Paris’s criminal fraternity. To impress the woman he loves, Agnès des Vallières, he agrees to lend his support to a heist prepared by Dr Ventoux, alias The Cat, who, unbeknown to Léopold, is engaged to Agnès.
