Summary
Monsieur Moulinet has earned the respect and admiration of all the good people of Barfleur-sur-Oron.  Nicknamed “the benefactor”, he is renowned for his generosity.  One person who asks for his support is Irène Berger, the president of an association that cares for young orphan girls. Moulinet promises his help, moved both by Irène’s cause and her charm.  On the pretext of visiting a dying uncle, Moulient goes to Paris where he lives his other life, that of Guillot, the leader of a gang that specialises in burglary.  After robbing a jewellers’ shop, Moulinet decides that he will turn over a new leaf and lead a respectable life.  While Inspector Picard investigates the latest robbery, Moulinet makes a terrible mistake when he gives one of the stolen jewels to Irène...
