♦ Synopsis :

Fantômas will impose to the rich person (noble and to gangsters) a "tax on the right to live". The police chief Juve, the Fandor journalist and Helene, promised in marriage of this last, have the role of capturing Fantômas. They go then in Scotland, in the typical haunted castle of the richissime owner of the places, Lord Edward Mac Rashley who is one of the preys of the criminal.
