In 1855, Edward Pierce, a member of London's high society, is secretly a master thief.

In order to "crack" the safes, wax impressions need to be made of each of the keys.

With Miriam posing as Madame Lucienne, a courtesan at an exclusive bordello, Pierce arranges an assignation with her for Fowler, where she gets him to undress, forcing him to remove the key worn round his neck.
