The famous English detective Herlock Sholmès crosses the Channel to catch Arsène Lupin, at the request of victims the French police could not help. In the first adventure, a mysterious blonde lady is seen at every theft, from a lottery ticket to a blue diamond; in the second, a Jewish lamp disappears from a Paris flat. Disguises, traps and reversals follow one another, with each man admiring the other a little too much. A duel of wits through the Paris of 1900.
