Film series
In the first episode he robs a princess, and then is suspected of involvement in the disappearance of a Lord Beltham.
In this second Fantômas episode, the action picks up - some of it filmed in the scenic streets of old Paris (to the visible delight of several gawking passer-bys). In between his busy love life with several women, Fantômas finds time to pull off a train disaster, in addition to the titular battle with Inspector Juve that includes an ambush, a capture and escape, and a murder attempt. Along with the action, lots of details are filled in via hand-written reports, notes, letters, and telegram so reading is still required.
