What happens

Zigomar Against Nick Carter (French: Zigomar contre Nick Carter), also known as Zigomar vs. Nick Carter, Zigomar vs. Le Rouquin, and Zigomar vs. Le Roukin is a 1912 French crime drama silent film directed by Victorin-Hippolyte Jasset and produced by Éclair. It was the second movie made by Jasset which used the character of Zigomar (who was originally created by the author Léon Sazie in 1909 for a newspaper serial in French newspaper Le Matin). The film is a crossover with fictional detective Nick Carter, who fills in for detective Pauline Broquet. The film follows Nick Carter, an American detective, as he tries to apprehend the titular Zigomar, King of Thieves. The movie is a sequel to Zigomar, and the cast consists of Alexandre C. Arquillière as Zigomar, André Liabel as Paulin Broquet, and Charles Krauss as Nick Carter. The movie was released on four film reels titled Zigomar Ressuscite, Les Deaux Zigomar!, Face à Face, and La Fin de Zigomar! (localized as Resurrected to Life, His Return to the Notorious Gang, The Opium Dens, and The Auto Wild Chase for the American release), and was followed up with Zigomar the Eelskin in 1913.
