Synopsis

Loosely based on the true story of financier, con-man and swindler Stavisky, who was arrested in 1934 for selling phony stock. As the rumors that he was being protected by high-ranking members of the government of the French Third Republic were undoubtedly true, the scandal had a profoundly unsettling effect on the French nation, already suffering from poor government handling of the Depression, and this incident nearly brought down both the government and the Republic.
