A sleeping-car tragedy occurring between Laroche and Paris furnishes the mystery which is unravelled in the course of this story. The French detective service is out in full force, and frequently goes off on the wrong trail. Among the implicated are an Italian countess, her maid and an Italian banker, the latter of whom is proven guilty and barely escapes the guillotine.
