A burglar is recruited to aid the police in finding his kidnapped girlfriend, a lovely but impoverished flower girl. Meanwhile, a deranged Russian emigre has been claiming that his ward is actually Princess Anastasia, last survivor of the Tsar's family--but she seems to behave strangely in the presence of flowers.

My favorite moments in this film are:
- While the Inspector awaits the results of an examination of cigarette
ash found at a crime scene he stands a few feet away from this delicate process, smoking his own cigarette dropping who knows how much ash.- At a murder scene he once again lights up a cigarette and even flicks
his spent match onto the floor.With this kind of law enforcement it's a wonder France didn't descend into criminal anarchy.
