The hulkish Chéri-Bibi, framed for a murder which he did not commit,
escapes from Devil's Island by having the dying Marquis du Touchais'
face grafted upon his own by a mad surgeon. But fate will not easily
relinquish its prey and Chéri-Bibi discovers that his newfound freedom
and fortune have come at a terrible price. After The Phantom of the
Opera and detective Joseph Rouletabille, Chéri-Bibi is the third
legendary hero created by one of France's greatest popular novelist and
feuilletoniste of La Belle Epoque, Gaston Leroux (1868-1927).
