Dedicated detective Guerchard (Lionel Barrymore) is on the trail of suave mystery thief Arsène Lupin (John Barrymore), who is taunting Parisian authorities by announcing his criminal plans in advance. The pre-code comedy-mystery has some suggestive situations and fine, slinky gowns and, despite being a bit dated and predictable, is good fun. The brothers Barrymore are great in this vintage caper flic.
