Le Crime de monsieur Lange (1936)
M. Lange est employé dans la société d'édition de Batala, patron véreux et sans scrupules. Durant ses heures de loisir, Lange écrit des histoires : les aventures d'Arizona Jim. Batala, menacé de poursuites pour n'avoir pas honoré un contrat publicitaire, décide de publier Arizona Jim, en modifiant à l'insu de l'auteur certains passages afin d'intégrer des réclames au texte. Ne pouvant plus honorer ses dettes, Batala prend la fuite. Le train dans lequel il s'enfuit a un grave accident, et on l'annonce mort. Les employés des éditions Batala s'organisent en coopérative, et lancent un nouveau magazine dont Arizona Jim est la figure principale. C'est un immense succès auprès du jeune public. Mais quelque temps plus tard, Batala, qui avait profité de l'accident de train pour voler l'identité d'une des victimes revient et réclame une part des bénéfices.
