Salutations & a Hi ho!

Nighthood in short, is a 26-episode Cartoon series by Cinar  based on the written works of contemporary French author Maurice Leblanc. Set in Paris during the late 1930s, it traces the exploits of Arsène Lupin, our globetrotting gentleman thief. Master of disguise, erudite, philanthropist.

As a retired burglar, the craft he has acquired during his earlier days are used to thwart the efforts of Howard Karst, a rich influential industrialist who has manipulated the system for his own profiteering schemes .

With his quick witted humor and spirited optimism as a driving force, our hero makes crumbling the Karst Empire and outwitting the police seem almost effortless, leaving the police baffled and Karst fuming with rage.   And of course with his signature calling card that he leaves behind, you can be sure that he has made a strong enough impression to make him one of the most "wanted" man in his time.
