Thirty years after his death, his infamy lives on. Mesrine was helped along the way by beautiful and equally reckless Jeanne Schneider (Cécile de France), a Bonnie to match his Clyde.

The Bride and the Beast
Newlyweds Dan and Laura Fuller arrive at Dan's isolated mansion just as a thunderstorm breaks. Dan, a big game hunter, reveals he has a pet gorilla named Spanky whom he brought back from Africa and raised since infancy, and now plans to donate him to a zoo. Laura, who has grown up with animals, is fascinated and insists on meeting the animal. Despite Dan's warnings, Laura gets near enough to Spanky's cage for the gorilla to grab her wrist, but Laura calmly talks the animal into releasing her. Later that night, Laura is disturbed by dreams of the gorilla and, awakening, paces around the adjoining room. Meanwhile, Spanky escapes from his cage and makes his way upstairs. Hearing Laura, Spanky approaches the room and confronts Laura, who is unafraid. Dan awakens in time to see Spanky rip off Laura's nightgown and shoots the animal as Laura faints. Later, a revived Laura admits to Dan that she was completely unafraid of Spanky, and has a strange feeling she knew him before. Dan insists that Laura speak with a doctor the following day. Returning to sleep, Laura dreams of living long ago in a past filled with wild animals and awakens screaming, confessing to Dan that she has had this same dream for years. The next morning, Dan brings his friend, Dr. Carl Reiner, to examine Laura, and Carl suggests a hypnotic session to relieve Laura's tensions. Laura agrees and under hypnosis regresses into the past, revealing that in a previous life Laura was a gorilla. Dan remains skeptical, but Carl assures him that Laura believes in this vision, which he links to her disturbing dreams. Carl advises Dan to postpone their honeymoon trip to Africa, but Dan insists on going. Laura, Dan and his manservant Taro depart the following day for Africa, where Dan receives special permission from game warden Capt. Cameron to capture various animals for an American zoo. Over the next several days Dan hunts many animals, capturing a zebra, rhinoceros and giraffe. Laura is extremely happy and confides in Dan that she feels as if she has returned home. A week later, Dan is summoned by Cameron, who reveals that a shipwreck just off the coast has released two dangerous Indian tigers and the government requests that Dan help recapture them. Over the next few days, Dan, Taro and his other assistants get close to both tigers at different times, but are unable to reach them. When one of the camp servants, Marka, is mauled my the animals, Dan wounds one tiger. Later, Taro reports that the other tiger has fallen into one of the traps, and Dan knows the wounded tiger will eventually seek its mate and waits by the trap all night. Early the following morning, Laura awakens and, worried about her husband's continued absence, goes out in search of Dan. The wounded tiger corners Laura as she nears the trap and forces her off a small cliff. Dan attacks the tiger and kills it with a knife as Taro hastily returns the dazed Laura to camp. Taro goes for a doctor, as Laura dreams fitfully about her previous existence in the jungle. Later, Laura awakens and hears a gorilla call outside the tent. Although still stunned, Laura goes outside where a gorilla awaits her. When Dan tries to intervene, the gorilla knocks him down before carrying Laura away. Dan revives and tracks Laura to a cave filled with gorillas, but, still dazed, Laura does not respond to Dan's entreaties. Dan shoots one gorilla and sees Laura being carried away by the other gorillas before he is struck unconscious. Back at home several weeks later, Dan relates to Carl that despite a protracted search, he was never able to find Laura. Carl comforts Dan by offering his belief that Laura willingly returned to her origins.

Flashpoint
It began as a stroke of incredible luck for two United States Border Patrol agents, Bob Logan and Ernie Wyatt. Partners and pals who enjoyed good whiskey and bad women. They accidentally discover a jeep buried in the Texas desert for over 20 years with $850,000 in cash in a metal container; a second metal container that holds a fishing rod and a high powered rifle. And finally a skeleton of a man in the drivers seat. They find his wallet with only a Texas drivers license and a piece of paper with a phone number and a Washington, D.C. area code. It should have been their ticket to a first class life if they played it "smart". If they played it "stupid" they could wind up like the skeleton in the jeep. Logan wants to take the money and run; Wyatt wants to at least try and find out who is the skeleton in the jeep. What was in store for both of them is something much more terrifying. A chilling drama of friendship, intrigue and murder.

They Made Me a Criminal
A southpaw with a distinctive boxing style, New York based Johnnie Bradfield has just won the world lightweight boxing champion title. While he, to the public, portrays himself as wholesome, doting on his mother, he, in reality, lives a hard and fast life in stark contrast to that public persona. While passed out in a drunken stupor, a reporter, poised to expose Johnnie's true lifestyle, dies in Johnnie's apartment. Knowing that he did not kill the reporter but that he is implicated in doing so, Johnnie, with a few hundred dollars of his several thousand dollars amassed wealth in his pocket, goes on the run in learning that the authorities also believe that he died in a fiery car crash. Not by plan or choice but rather circumstance and need, Johnnie, using the alias Jack Dorney, ends up at the Rafferty Date Farm in Arizona run by elderly Grandma Rafferty, whose brother, Father Rafferty, before his passing, sent a group of six reform school kids from New York City's East side to give them a better chance at life in that reform. Despite initial animosity between Johnnie and Grandma, the six delinquents and Peggy, the sister of one of the reform kids who accompanied her brother to the farm in feeling she may be a grounding influence for him, all end up having a reciprocal positive influence on the other, especially Johnnie and Peggy, who start to fall for each other. There are two problems potentially to upset Johnnie's new life. First, he may turn to the only way he knows how to earn a living, namely boxing, which may expose him as still being alive. Second, NYPD Detective Monty Phelan, whose career took a nosedive ten years prior in a grave error of judgment, believes Johnnie is indeed alive and will do anything to prove his case in needing to restore some legitimacy to his career.
