What happens

Zigomar the Eelskin (French: Zigomar Peau d'Anguille) (Also known as Zigomar the Black Scourge) is a 1913 French crime drama silent film directed by Victorin-Hippolyte Jasset and produced by Éclair. It was the third movie made by Jasset that used the character of Zigomar (who was originally created by the author Léon Sazie in 1909), and the second sequel to Zigomar, and comes after Zigomar Against Nick Carter in the series. The story is an adaptation of a story of the same name that was published in the French newspaper Le Matin from June 30-August 26, 1912. The film follows Paulin Broquet, the chief of police, as he struggles to recapture the escaped crime lord Zigomar and his ally, La Rosaria. The cast consists of Alexandre C. Arquillière as Zigomar, André Liabel as Paulin Broquet, and Josette Andriot as La Rosaria. The movie was split into the three parts: The Resurrection of Zigomar (La Résurrection de Zigomar), The Elephant Burglar (L’Eléphant cambrioleur), and The Air Brigand (Le Brigand de l’air).
