Paulin Broquet, the great Parisian detective, has brought the notorious bandit, Zigomar, to justice. Determined not to let the law punish him, he had taken poison in the Hall of Justice. Then he was brought to a hospital where he lay motionless and was visited by hundreds of persons. Among the visitors was a slender woman, dressed in black, who secreted herself in the hospital, and, when all the others had gone, went to the bedside of Zigomar and administered an antidote for poisoning.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic duel between detective and criminal, enriched by the mysterious intervention of a woman in black. It relies on economical staging to turn a public death into a private act of resurrection.

What lingers after viewing is the stark theatricality of early crime cinema, where every glance holds a secret. The stage is set for a battle of wits that feels both antique and cunningly modern. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Victorin-Hippolyte Jasset
