Lonnrot, an infallible detective, declares war on the notorious outlaw Red Scharlach after Scharlach pulls off a particularly daring robbery. The mysterious murder of a Talmudic priest provides Lonnrot with a clue which leads him and Inspector Treviranus to the Liverpool Bar, in search of the kidnapped tipster Gryphius. From there, accompanied by atheist reporter Zunz, Lonnrot follows Scharlach to the Villa Triste-le-Roy, and unravels the greatest mystery of all.
