It all begins when Lucien Lachenay, famous inventor of the moving sidewalk at the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibit, saves the life of beautiful Alice Avellano whose deranged husband was trying to strangle her... Lucien Lachenay is himself being threatened by a band of anarchists who have hired young worker Alphonse to murder him. Alphonse messes up the contract, Lucien is fascinated by Alphonse's irrepressible energy and thirst for knowledge. So he agrees to become his mentor instead of handing him over to the police. Over time, Lucien, Alphonse, Alice and the young ravishing Laure will measure one another in a games of rivalry, treason and, ultimately, reconciliation.
