The adventures of a pompous jeweler who refuses to listen to the advice of his level-headed employees.

Suzette and Jack form a very nice and rather well-matched couple. The latter is the partner of the new clown Teddy who seems to please the young lady a lot.

Adaptation of the Émile Gaboriau novel.

The Twins, regular bad men of the regiment, have been condemned to the military prison, and it goes much against the grain of the kind-hearted Captain Hurluret to see these poor fellows confined to their cells. His leniency toward them, however, is speedily taken advantage of with most amusing results.

Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas.

No plot available. The director Maurice Tourneur perceived this film to be indicative of the advances French cinema could have taken had it not been derailed by World War I.

After supper, two elegant couples descend into a cellar in Les Halles, a haven for criminals and murderers. In this dive, well-known to the nocturnal Parisians, unsettling couples sit at tables over glasses of cheap wine and bowls of mulled wine. The visitors shudder in this atmosphere, but a few well-timed rounds of drinks win them over. A piano begins a waltz, a couple embraces and begins a voluptuous and brutal dance. Suddenly, a brawl breaks out, knives gleam. The police burst in as the panicked visitors flee. But it's all a setup! And the prostitute and the thug return home, having honestly earned their day.

Max at an evening party takes a necklace from one of the guests and makes good his escape. The guests and the police set out in pursuit but Max employs some novel methods and among others mounts a boat on the water chute and finally makes good his escape in a balloon which soars far out of reach of his would-be captors. This film is just cram full of novel situations and laughable episodes.
