Arthur's one ambition in life is to find his father, whom he has not seen
since he was a small boy - not surprisingly, as the errant father was a well-known
criminal known as La Malice. This is why Arthur chose to join the French
police force. To his great disappointment, hunting down high profile
criminals does not seem to be a priority for the police department Arthur
is assigned to. Instead, he ends up having to tackle a gang of ultra-leftwing
activists - the Black Fist Collective - who are busy inflicting cultural
assaults on the French capital. To bring an end to the gang's activities,
Arthur must infiltrate the gang by passing himself off as an actor.
The ruse works better than he might have hoped and he is soon assisting the
gang's leader, Blanche Rippolin, in the Black Fist's cultural war...
