In picturesque and bustling 1910s Paris right after the Great Flood, two friends--the timid projectionist, Emile, and the delivery-man by day and inventor by night, Raoul--are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, when a delivery to the Botanical Gardens ends up in total catastrophe. Now, a mysterious and fearsome creature with glowing red eyes roams the dark alleys of the metropolis, and only the Rare Bird's lithe cabaret singer, Lucille, seems to have the power to scratch beneath the surface and tame it. As the news of the terrible Parisian beast spread like wildfire, the hulking guitarist with the lovely singing voice, Francoeur, lands a job as a musician in Lucille's show--while at the same time--the mayor and every gendarme in town struggle to solve this intricate puzzle. Is there, indeed, a hideous monster in Paris?—Nick Riganas
