Description

Triple bill of crime comedies directed by André Hunebelle. 'Fantômas' (1964) stars Jean Marais as the eponymous criminal who is deeply upset with Fandor (also Marais), a journalist who has recently published a fictitious interview with him. After abducting Fandor, Fantômas disguises himself as the man and proceeds to execute a successful jewellery heist.

When Inspector Juve (Louis de Funès) joins the hunt, Fantômas does the same, this time disguised as Juve, and then manages to escape their grasp. In 'Fantômas Unleashed' (1965), the criminal mastermind has plans for world domination and begins kidnapping scientists to help him achieve his goal. As Fandor uses Fantômas's own methods against him and attempts to lure the villain into a trap, Juve unwittingly foils his plans.

Finally, in 'Fantômas vs Scotland Yard' (1967), Fantômas seeks to impose a tax upon the rich and threatens to kill anyone who does not comply with his demands. As Juve and Fandor pursue him to Scotland, will they finally succeed in catching their foe?
