A romantic and funny love story with a tragic end. In Paris a young Hungarian artist (Monpti) and a girl (Anne-Claire) meet and fall in love. But just when she is prepared to give herself to him she finds a pair of lady's pants in his room. He is perfectly innocent but the reason why the pants are there is as humouristic as incredible. So when he tells the truth she gets very angry though she was prepared to "forgive" his "side step". Another pattern is much more serious. Anne-Claire fears that Monpti would have no interest in her if she told that she is a nobody. So she builds up a story of being a rich girl with a private chauffeur. She even takes Monpti to a family church funeral and points out all her relatives, even telling which ones are not on speaking terms. When he finally exposes her lies a violent explosion results. She runs away in despair and is overrun by a car. At the hospital their love returns. But she will die after a few days. - In the background of many scenes we have seen the couple who overrun Anne-Claire, and their shallow emotions were recurrently contrasted with the genuine love of the young couple.。1949年的日本帝都,社会分为两个贫富差距悬殊的阶层,富人掌握特权。其中,涌现出一个神秘的变脸怪盗K-20,经常偷取富裕阶层的珍奇宝物。那日,他又声言要在财团千金羽柴叶子(松隆子 Takako Matsu 饰)的婚礼当天盗取某财团的名画《巴别塔》,令警察厅十分恐慌。叶子的未婚夫、探长明智小五郎(仲村亨 Tôru Nakamura 饰)如临大敌,高度戒备。身怀绝技的杂技艺人远藤平吉(金城武 饰)阴错阳差卷入了这场盗画的阴谋之中。由于被当成K-20,他锒铛入狱,后侥幸逃脱,在老友源治的帮助下,栖居民间,潜心研究易容之术,准备伺机向陷害自己的K-20复仇。叶子总是在把玩父亲临终前送给他的礼物,觉得里面暗藏玄机。后来,K-20再度出现准备掳走叶子,危急时刻远藤平吉刚好赶到,两人跟K-20及警察厅展开了周旋,逐渐逼近了真相……
