Hunted relentlessly, Fouinard smiles disdainfully at the hunter the police have ordered to bring him down. The volleys of gunfire don't frighten him either, and the cannonballs bring him a sweet joy. Alas! A child's pistol shatters his serenity. Struck in the eye, he falls to a startling crash and becomes the prey of a vociferous crowd.
