Storyline
| Plot Summary |
"Le Dabe" retired many years ago and now he lives in the Tropics where he owns stables and horses. He is a very rich man. He was the king of all money counterfeiters. He is contacted from Paris to organize a new job. He says no. But when he finds out the the currency that should be counterfeited is the Dutch florin, he accepts immediately. He retired after having counterfeited 100 florin notes just before the Queen Wilhelmina retired them from circulation. He flies to Paris. But the gang is not to be trusted, at least not all of them.

| Quotes |
Charles Lepicard:
Entre-nous Dab, une supposition, je dis bien une supposition, que j'ai un graveur, du papier et que j'imprime pour un milliard de bifton, en admettant, je dis bien que c'est toujours une supposition, en admettant que l'on soit cinq sur l'affaire, cela rapporterait net combien à chacun? Ferdinand Maréchal dit 'Le Dabe': 20 ans de placard, les bénéfices cela se divise, la réclusion, cela s'additionne! Charles Lepicard: Between us, Dab, an assumption, I mean an assumption, that I have an engraver, paper and that I print for a billion bifton, admitting, I say it is always a supposition, admitting if we are five on the case, how much would it bring to everyone? Ferdinand Maréchal dit 'Le Dabe': 20 years of jail, the profits are divided, the sentences add up! See more » |
