Europe around 1900: Georges Manolescu is an elegant, handsome, and self-assured con artist. He takes particular pride in being called the “King of Thieves.” Using a wide variety of tricks—sometimes as a marriage swindler, sometimes as an impostor or hotel thief—this charmer manages to swindle 35 million marks. Only the finest society and the most glamorous locations are good enough for Manolescu: Baden-Baden, Nice, Monte Carlo, and, of course, Paris. He shows up there in various disguises and relieves the rich and beautiful of their fortunes. Nothing and no one is safe from the nimble-fingered master thief.
