Le maçon

About the show

At mason Roger’s wedding to Henriette, officer Léon de Mérinville explains he is going to rescue Irma, a young Greek held by Turks. Cloaked figures abduct Roger and his friend Baptiste, a locksmith. At the château, Léon and Irma are captured; Roger and Baptiste are forced to build a prison for Léon. The repentant Turk Rica tries to help the prisoners escape, but Baptiste’s cowardice leads to their recapture, and Roger and Baptiste are made to wall the three up alive. Blindfolded and returned home, the craftsmen are exposed by Henriette’s discovery that they had entered the Turkish ambassador’s château. Roger and Baptiste rush back, find the Turks gone and free the prisoners.
