The story begins with the discovery of a corpse, hanging from a tree in London's Regent's Park. The victim, a wealthy Frenchman, bears the distinctive calling card of Fantomas. Detective Juve is called upon to investigate, and he quickly realizes that this is no ordinary crime. The hanged man is only the latest in a series of bizarre murders, all connected to a secret society known as "The Hanged Men."
