Paris, 1910, Emile, a shy movie projectionist and Raoul, a colorful inventor, find themselves embarked on the hunt for a monster terrorizing citizens. They join forces with Lucile, the big-hearted star of the Rare Bird cabaret, an eccentric scientist and his irascible monkey to save the monster, which turns out to be an over-sized but harmless flea, from the city’s ruthlessly ambitious police chief.
