In Paris, circa 1912, Professor Espérandieu tinkers with telepathic techniques, and a lab accident hatches a 135-million-year-old pterosaur egg inside the National Museum of Natural History. The hatch triggers a string of eerie sightings and a fatal incident—the former prefect dies after sharing a taxi with a Moulin Rouge showgirl, witnessed only by a drunken passerby, Ferdinand Choupard, who is detained by the police. The President of France orders the case treated with utmost urgency, but control falls to the seasoned yet bumbling Inspector Caponi.
