Vidocq — Season 1, Episode 6: L'armée roulante

Episode synopsis

Vidocq has obtained papers for himself and Desfossés, and with Annette they head north to join a traveling theater. Stopped en route, they learn only too late that the two men whose names they have borrowed are deserters. It's their good fortune to be handed over to the “rolling army”, a group of thugs who pretend to be soldiers to profit from looting. But Flambart is still on Vidocq's tail, and what's more, after the retreat of the real army, the rolling army has to fight for the first time...

François Vidocq has been sentenced to eight years' hard labor for a crime he didn't commit. Escaped with the help of his faithful friends Desfossés and Fil de fer, the convict is pursued by his lifelong enemy: the policeman Flambart. Between scams and disguises, Vidocq initially leads an undercover life in 19th-century Paris. Eventually, the two men team up to fight criminals... And Vidocq succumbs to Annette's charms.
