The autobiography of elegant criminal, François Eugène Vidocq, from his birth in a French jail in 1775 to his appointment as chief of police of Paris where he intends to rob the city bank. Along the way, he escapes from jail with Emile, who becomes his partner in crime, poses as a lieutenant to rob a showgirl of her ruby garter, and steals the jewels of a marquise in whose home hes a guest. Hes also posed as an artists model for a portrait of St. George (Emiles face is the dragons), and the marquises granddaughter falls in love first with his visage and then him. Can she help him slay his own dragons, especially when the showgirl reappears and the bank vault beckons?
In this wry, satiric comedy of manners, Napoleonic Era con man Eugene Francois Vidocq uses his considerable sophistication, charm, and powers of seduction to rise from extreme poverty to become Chief of Police in Paris where he plans to rob the citys seemingly impregnable bank.
