However, Gilbert and Vaucheray convince Lupine to strike. Things go wrong. There is a dead man, the police arrest the young men and Lupine manages to escape with a glass stopper that Gilbert gives him. But the cap disappears from Lupine's hiding place before he can inspect it. What is it about that ordinary carafe cap that arouses so much interest? The list of 27 names committed to corruption in the construction of the Panama Canal and the key to Deputy Duabrecq's fortune. To recover it, Arsene Lupine must undertake a dangerous journey that will take him to San Remo, with unforeseeable consequences.
