Before there was Dr. Mabuse or just about any other master criminal, there was FANTOMAS, the master of disguise who terrorized Paris in thirty-two serialized novels before making the leap to the big screen with five feature-length serials directed by Gaumont's Louis Feuillade. The master criminal takes on several identities and is pursued by Inspector Juve and journalist Fandor who also don a series of disguises to fool their foe.
