Synopsis
Crochard, a renowned Parisian jewel thief, hides his latest heist in the drawer of a cabinet which he has lined with a poison that kills on contact. Then, when Vantine, an American connoisseur of fine furniture, arranges for an identical cabinet to be shipped to him from Paris, the poisonous one is delivered in its place, and Vantine dies as soon as he touches it. The bizarre death puzzles the police, but reporter Jack Godfrey traces the cabinet back to Crochard and then, accomplishing that which authorities had considered impossible, captures him.
