Plot
The story opens with Fred speeding through the streets of Paris in his car, being chased by several gangsters, all dressed in black tie; it is later explained that he has stolen documents from the gangsters’ boss at his wife Héléna's birthday party. When the gangsters close in on him, Fred jumps down on to a metro track and escapes into the labyrinthine world of the Paris Métro. Over the next several days he half-heartedly attempts to blackmail Héléna for the documents, although he is clearly less interested in the money than in winning her affection.
