Episode synopsis

Annette has joined the traveling theater troupe, as planned, and must now get Vidocq and Desfossés out of prison. The prison warden is proud of his new alarm bell. Just this one is part of Vidocq's escape plan, but first it takes all Annette's skill to get him through a file. But then again, Inspector Flambart is there, and much more adept at figuring out what happened...

About Vidocq

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.
