Summary
Generals, ministers and academics are brought together to attend the
funeral of the industrialist André Laroche. The chief of
police is shocked when he learns that Laroche was none other than the
famous thief Arsène Lupin. François de Vierne is
equally surprised when discovers that Lupin was his real father and has
left him an usual legacy in his will – the burglary of the crown jewels
of small country named Poldavie. When François starts on
the job he discovers that another thief was there before him and has
left a card signed Arsène Lupin...
