- 1880 Paris. A killer is on the loose which is terrorizing the citizenry. The latest murder, of Michel, a bank employee, who is stabbed in the back, is accompanied by a robbery at the bank. Bank clerk Lucien Cortier, at the bank at the time of the murder, heard the howl of a wolf before discovering Michel, whose dying words were that he saw the face of the perpetrator, a wolf man, through the window, such accounts deemed incredulous by Police Inspector Gouffert. Regardless, Lucien wants to help find the perpetrator not only for Michel but to retrieve the money as he is mutually in love with Cecile de Brisson, the daughter of the bank owner, they knowing that M. de Brisson would never otherwise allow them to marry due to their differences in social standing. Already having faced recent losses and thus risks financial ruin, M. de Brisson believes, beyond recovering what was stolen which is no guarantee, that he needs the business of the wealthy Chevalier del Gardo. The Chevalier does agree to invest with one caveat: that he be allowed to court Cecile with who he too is in love, ever since he first laid eyes on her. With M. de Brisson allowing Cecile to make up her own mind regarding the Chevalier and upon the Chevalier discovering that Cecile and Lucien are in love with each other, the Chevalier hatches a plot to frame Lucien as the robber and murderer so that he can have Cecile for himself. However, the Chevalier knows more about not only the robbery but all the murders than he lets on.—Huggo
