Plot
The story opens with Fred speeding his car and being chased by several gangsters; it is later explained that he stole some documents from their boss at his wife Héléna's birthday party. Fred escapes into the labyrinthine world of the Paris Métro. Over the next several days he attempts to blackmail Héléna for the documents, although he is clearly less interested in the money than in winning her affection.
