Jean-Pierre Mocky, who also directed and produced Les Araignees de la Nuit ("Spiders of the Night"), stars as a police inspector busy investigating the deaths of several French presidential candidates. After hearing that the favorite contender was killed in the middle of a speech, Gordone's (Mocky) secretary Denise (Patricia Barzyk) joins the policeman in his research. Though they suspect the deaths are being ordered by the incumbent president, the only real lead the two have to work with is an unlikely network of men at every level of society who share one thing--a spider tattoed on their wrists.
