In Rouletabille at Krupp's (1917), Gaston Leroux followed
the template created by John Buchan in Greenamtle (1916), in which a heroic
secret agent is conscripted to carry out an officially-sanctioned dangerous
mission in enemy territory. Here, it's fearless investigative journalist
Joseph Josephin, aka Rouletabille, who is sent into the heart of the Kaiser's
armaments factories to destroy the gigantic German super-weapon Titania,
capable of annihilating Paris itself in a single shot.
