In 19th century France, a crazed former soldier [Michel Galabru] embarks on a killing spree across the country. His crimes spark a frantic manhunt, and he soon becomes the prey of an ambitious and ruthless judge [Philippe Noiret], who is aware that he will gain political advantage if he masterminds the capture and execution of the killer. Driven by his thirst for success, the judge is loathe to allow the fact of the assassin’s insanity stand in the way of a conviction, and so the lines of justice become blurred, in this gripping tale of hunter and hunted.
