"To preserve the coherence of the story, a missing sequence was replaced by an extracted sequence of another film of "Fantômas" series." "This sequence, diverted from the original, is pointed out by: *" "Fantômas IV Fantômas vs Fantômas" "From the novel "The gangster policeman" by" "Monsieur Navarre in the role of Fantômas" "Part One:" "Fantômas and public opinion." "Following the repeated failure of Inspector Juve in dealing with Fantômas, a violent press campaign erupted, which infuriated Jerome Fandor, reporter for 'The Capital', and friend and collaborator of the policeman." "JUVE IS Fantômas!" "If the police haven't managed to arrest the criminal yet, it's only because they are one and the same person." "THE PROOF:" "Summoned to the Halls of Justice, in the office of the civic judge, Juve finds himself under accusations." "The Chief Public Prosecutor..." " Arrest this man!" " Take down a statement for the papers." "At 'The Capital', Fandor had his own network of informers who were often quicker than official statements and agency dispatches." "Commissioner, I know that someone will come to arrest me like my friend Juve." "Forgive me for giving you the slip." "While Juve is at the Station, it is better that I am free to work on his behalf to see that justice is done as soon as possible." " Jerome Fandor" " For the commissioner when he comes to arrest me." "Part Two:" "The Wall that bleeds." "Owner of several buildings in the residential part of Paris, a usurer, a crooked but careful businessman, father Moche always pays his bills on time." "I've got another bill to collect at Monsieur Paulet's, on the floor above." "Monsieur Paulet..." "Monsieur, I present to you to the new tenant on the fifth floor of your building on Evangile Street." "This person desires that one room of her apartment be divided in two by a partition." "Your concierge, Madame Doullenque." "So, that man upstairs, what are you going to do with him?" " Split the money three ways and I will take care of everything." "The police prove incapable of finding the least trace of the missing bank messenger." "Furious, the chief of police summoned his inspectors." "The famous american detective Tom Bob is in Paris." "A challenger to the french police." "He intends to find out the truth about Fantômas." "Perhaps he will find a lead on the bank messenger who mysteriously disappeared several days ago and is believed to have been murdered." " For heaven's sake, gentlemen, you are not going to let yourselves be shown up by an american!" "At the tenant's home on Evangile Street, the works were now almost finished." "I am the new man." "The boss sent me to replace you." "It's blood!" "Call the police!" "A quarter of an hour later..." "The missing bank messenger!" "TOM BOB, American Detective Hotel Terminus, Paris." "Part Three:" "Fantômas vs Fantômas." "By her new marriage, Lady Beltham, Fantômas's old mistress, had become the grand duchess Alexandra." "She believed she had finally broken off from the past." " Fantômas!" " I've only one last service to ask of you..." "our Highness." "To:" "The Havas Agency." "Since the police are incapable of delivering Fantômas to us, the grand duchess Alexandra proposes to offer a public reward payable to whoever brings about the arrest of the elusive criminal." "The money will be collected at the home of the grand duchess, who will pay out a sum of 5,000 francs." "In a small and discreet hotel in the suburbs..." "To launch the reward, the grand duchess was giving a grand masked-ball, which Fandor, skilled at edging his way into anywhere, had decided to attend." "By thus 'usurping' the legendary costume of Fantômas, the journalist hoped to provoke a reaction from the criminal, which would lead him to give himself away." "At the Police Department someone had had the same idea." "The Grand Duchess Alexandra begs you to attend a masked-ball which she is giving in Hotel Parc des Princes, from 7pm onwards." "The grand duchess's ball is a success." "In the joyful atmosphere of the ball, no-one, except the grand duchess, took the quarrel between the two Fantômases seriously..." "or nearly no-one." "A cry in the night..." "Fandor, who had recognised the Police Inspector, cared very little, given the situation, for coming in contact with the police." " Madame, a man has just been murdered in your garden." "To her great relief, the grand duchess saw that the dead man was unknown to her." "The investigation began immediately." "The following morning..." "If Juve and Fantômas were one and the same, Juve must have the same wound on his own right arm." "At the Police Station..." " It is absolutely impossible that the prisoner could have got out of his cell that night, and then come back to it." "A narcotic!" "Juve demands that all the guards be summoned." "Juve recognizes Nibet, Fantômas's accomplice, who he often saw at mother Toulouche's, when he was disguised as the idiot Cranajour." "Part Four:" "Settling of Old Scores." "Abandoned quarries, empty houses, Fandor knew practically all the hide-outs of the underworld in the Paris suburbs." "He explored them one by one to find Fantômas's trail." "It was Fantômas's gang." "The gangsters were demanding from father Moche an immediate share of the loot from their last few jobs." "My friends, have confidence." "While I am at the Police Station, put complete trust in my lieutenant, father Moche." "Upon my release, which will not be long, I will distribute the loot." " Fantômas" "The loot..." "The construction of a new wing along the Orfevres Dock had turned the Halls of Justice upside down - they were overrun by builders." "ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENTIAL Inspector Juve resumes his duties at the Police Department." "But, so as not to hinder the research of that inspector, his release must remain a secret." " Commissioner of Police." "Since Fantômas had promised to share out the loot upon his release from prison, the gangsters had decided to speed things up." "Meanwhile, in the local police station near the abandoned house..." "ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENTIAL Inspector Juve resumes his duties at the Police Department." "But, so as not to hinder the research of that inspector, his release must remain a secret." " Commissioner of Police." " If you want to catch Fantômas and his gang, follow me." "The news that the sharing out of the loot was going to take place in the empty house spread quickly among the gangsters." " If you are Fantômas, we want our share immediately." "If you are Juve, so much the worse for you." "Juve, it's me, Fandor." " Tell them that you are Fantômas and to lift the dark-coloured paving stone in front of you." " I am Fantômas." " Look out!" "The cops!" "No they aren't!" "They are some friends in disguise for a job I'm planning." " How did you find us?" "But Tom Bob had disappeared." "To Juve, everything was clear." "Fantômas, Tom Bob and father Moche were all one and the same." "The criminal had had his accomplices arrested to keep the loot for himself And the reward for his arrest was a very large sum of money." "Once more Fantômas shot off on the path of crime."
