Fantômas V: The False Magistrate (1914)

Gaumont
Directed by Louis Feuillade
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Kino)

The final Fantômas entry has a few missing scenes, but nothing that interrupts the flow of the story. Fantômas disguises himself as a judge which gives him power to release members of his own gang. Juve, not to be outdone, actually disguises himself as Fantômas and spends time in prison. It's all an elaborate scheme to capture Fantômas at last, but it's Fantômas who has the last laugh.
