Handlung
1789 - Es herrscht heiteres Köpferollen während der französischen Revolution. Robespierre entledigt sich mit Hilfe von Madame Guillotine der Aristokratie. Diesen blutigen Job erledigt jedoch der Chef der Geheimpolizei, Bürger Camembert und sein tolpatschiger Gehilfe Bidet. Alles "rollt" wunderbar, als plötzlich der mysteriöse "Schwarze Fingernagel" und sein Gehilfe auftauchen und die Deliquenten direkt vom Schafott wegstiehlt. Hinter den beiden Störenfrieden stecken die vom englischem Adelsleben gelangweilten Sir Rodney Ffing und Lord Darcy Pue. Verärgert setzt Robespierre seine Handlanger Camembert und Bidet auf die Ergreifung der englischen Rächer an. Diese haben aber Mühe, die Identität des maskierungswütigen Sir Rodney aufzudecken, geschweige denn seiner Habhaft zu werden. Der hat nämlich seine helle Freude daran, die beiden französischen Revolutionäre an der Nase herumzuführen ...
