Hidden Treasure

While the mini-sub of Dr. Verne, carrying Inspector Fabre, Gonza, and police detective Paulo, are under heavy attack from Lady Schnider's sub in the river Seine, Baron Spider orders his henchman, Dion, to gather men to dig a tunnel. Schnider's new "job" is to find the treasure of Napoleon I. She has amassed plenty of information while in prison, and she has researched its whereabouts at a library. Finally, the female fugitive knows where it is and tells Baron Spider that the job will be carried out that night. Meanwhile, at the police headquarters in Paris, Detective Paulo asks Valerie's help, but the police chief rejects him bluntly. Then, Chief Inspector Ganimar offers his help to Paulo. Suspecting what Schnider is doing, Mr. Fabre researches all the books and records of Napoleon I's hidden treasure with the help of Angelica the librarian. Together, they find its whereabouts. He rushes to the Arch of Triumph; however, the treasure has already been taken. Ganimar and Paulo attempt to arrest the men whom Baron Spider hired. They chase Schnider and the other crooks, but the thieves disappear into the Parisian night, leaving the treasure behind.
