Synopsis
At the beginning of the twentieth century in France, a motorized police brigade was created, led by Divisional Commissioner Faivre. This brigade is inspired by the real "mobile brigades" established in 1907 by Georges Clemenceau (nicknamed "the Tiger"), who was then the Minister of the Interior. Commissioner Valentin, along with inspectors Pujol and Terrasson—officials of the mobile intervention brigade—conduct police investigations involving mystery, the supernatural, and historical figures. The stakes in these investigations often revolve around the protection of the Republic.
