The series stars an endearing young
private-eye-in-training who solves crimes as he scoots around Paris on his
trusty motorized bicycle. Given his general clumsiness, he seems more Will
Ferrell than Humphrey Bogart. Translated in English for the first
time.

Wearing an old trenchcoat and his
indispensable felt hat, the 20-year-old Jerome tries to look the
part of a seasoned sleuth. By day he translates detective novels and fantasizes
about being one. By night he's enrolled in Professor Maison's
correspondence course for would-be private eyes. His girlfriend, Babette, is a
flight attendant who brings him recordings for his collection of police sirens
from around the world. And then, his first "case": In the past two
months, fifteen people in Paris have been killed by poisoned darts. All that
witnesses saw was a feathered shadow and a blowgun. The job of capturing the
flamboyant assassin is entrusted to Jerome by Professor Maison.
Things get off to a rocky start, however, when the professor appears to be
victim number sixteen!
