Fantômas is a man of many disguises. He uses maquillage as a weapon. He can impersonate anyone using an array of masks and can create endless confusion by constantly changing his appearance. In the first episode of the series he is unhappy with Fandor, because of a fictitious interview the journalist wrote about him. He takes his revenge by abducting Fandor and threatening to kill him. He then uses his formidable makeup skills to commit a spectacular crime while disguised like Fandor. When commissaire Juve joins the chase, chameleon-like Fantômas promptly commits a crime wearing a mask looking like Juve. In the end Fandor, Juve and Fandor's girlfriend Hélène are all on the master criminal's trail, all to no avail as the man of a thousand masks finally manages to escape.

Le colonel (ou général, ou capitaine) Crochet règne en maître sur un pays imaginaire d'Amérique du Sud (ou d'Europe du Sud, puisque les colonels grecs ou Salazar au Portugal comptent parmi les inspirations d'Oury) où déconfiture économique, privation des libertés et révoltes font partie du lot quotidien. Tout comme Somoza au Nicaragua ou encore le shah d’Iran, les américains finissent par le lâcher. Il est politique mort, sa popularité est, naturellement, au plus bas et les problèmes viennent même de sa propre famille : son fils le trahit et passe à la gauche révolutionnaire, tandis que Mme Crochet fomente une insurrection car elle a une liaison avec le chef de la police et veut l’installer à la place de son mari.
