Ce roman commence comme un policier classique. Une série de meurtres terrorise un village d'Auvergne et une enquête commence, au cours de laquelle les principaux personnages se mettent en place : un vieux savant bizarre, sa fille - ravissante, bien sûr - son fiancé, un grand benêt de clerc de notaire, le domestique du savant et une famille de repris de justice, cachée dans les bois, composée de trois frères - les méchants de l'histoire et les suspects évidents, ainsi que de leur soeur, une sauvageonne. Puis le roman oblique vers le thème du savant fou, dont les créations échappent à son contrôle et sont à l'origine de désastres... De plus nous découvrons que M. Noël s'appelle en réalité Baloo et est amoureux fou, sans espoir, de la jolie fille... Un roman éclectique, qui part un peu dans tous les sens, comme cela arrivait parfois avec les feuilletons écrits au jour le jour, mais qui nous offre un certain nombre d'épisode complètement délirants qui valent la peine d'être lus.
