It is a satire on the law system which cannot find a single way to punish a murderer.

The story is set in an imaginary kingdom of Monaco known for the only gambling establishment in Europe.

When a murder happens in his kingdom, the judges decide that the criminal should be executed by a guillotine.

A guillotine costs 12,000 Francs. So they alter it to life imprisonment which costs 600 francs a year.

In the end they decide to free him and provide the murderer with annual pension.
