Max is a Paris detective, aloof, independently wealthy, and frustrated by gangs of robbers whom he cannot catch. To re-establish his stature and save face, he decides to inveigle a group of petty thieves (led by an old acquaintance) to rob a bank.

He poses as a rich banker with money to burn and encourages Lilly to think about her future. He hints at a payroll that comes through his bank.
