This entry is a bit more episodic than usual. Inspector Juve himself is suspected of being Fantômas and arrested. Meanwhile a police messenger is murdered at a boardinghouse. American detective Tom Bob is sent to help solve the crime. Suspicion falls on Juve, until he cleverly clears himself with his old pal Fandor. In another chapter, Lady Beltham returns and is forced by Fantômas to offer a reward for his own arrest. A ball is held and Fantômas, in disguise, meets himself! It's really Fandor, and with Juve waiting outside they finally arrest him... or do they? It's all lots of fun with the usual surreal touches, such as a bleeding wall.
