Dilili est une petite Française kanake qui participe au zoo humain de l'Exposition universelle dans le Paris de la Belle Époque. Orel, chauffeur de triporteur, se glisse dans l'enclos pour rencontrer Dilili, qui le retrouve le soir venu. Elle lui raconte son histoire : elle a à la fois des ancêtres européens et des ancêtres kanaks, elle a été éduquée par madame Michel (qui n'est autre que Louise Michel), puis à son arrivée à Paris, elle a rencontré une comtesse qui lui a appris les bonnes manières. Orel propose à Dilili de la promener dans Paris à bord de son triporteur pendant qu'il effectue ses livraisons. Enthousiaste, Dilili découvre les rues et places de Paris. Ils rencontrent Marie Curie, à qui Orel devait ramener sa fille Ève, puis la cantatrice Emma Calvé, amie d'Orel, qui aime chanter sur le lac souterrain qui s'étend sous l'opéra Garnier, ainsi que l'écrivain Marcel Proust en compagnie de son ami Reynaldo Hahn. La petite fille note sur son carnet les noms des célébrités qu'elle rencontre et qui lui donnent toutes sortes d'idées de métiers qu'elle aimerait faire plus tard. Très vite, Dilili est intriguée par les annonces des vendeurs de journaux : de petites filles sont régulièrement enlevées par un réseau de bandits qui signent leurs crimes du nom de « Mâles-Maîtres ». Dilili décide aussitôt d'enquêter pour retrouver les jeunes filles disparues. Elle-même victime d'une première tentative d'enlèvement dans un jardin public, elle est sauvée par Orel : il va falloir faire preuve de prudence.

A mysterious vehicle using a huge magnet steals a highly potent mutagen known as PX-41 from a secret laboratory in the Arctic Circle. The Anti-Villain League (AVL) tries to recruit former supervillain, Gru, to find who stole the mutagen, but Gru refuses, claiming he is a legitimate businessman now as well as the father of Margo, Edith, and Agnes. Dr. Nefario, Gru's friend and assistant, has decided to leave him for new employment, claiming he "missed being evil." Gru reluctantly partners with undercover AVL agent Lucy Wilde, and they search a local mall, the Paradise Shopping Mall, disguised as bakery employees. Mexican restaurant owner, Eduardo Pérez, is suspected by Gru of being "El Macho", a legendary supervillain who supposedly died after skysurfing a shark into the center of an active volcano. Gru and Lucy break into Eduardo's restaurant at night, but find nothing to prove that he is the culprit. Meanwhile, Agnes expresses her wish to have a mother someday and believes that Gru will fall in love with Lucy, but despite her excitement, Gru tells her that his relationship with Lucy is strictly professional.
