The series unfolds a fascinating and adventurous narrative of a treasure hunt. It begins with a gentleman's shipwreck near the French coast, his valuable treasure sinking with him. The following cards depict two courageous divers in their historical diving suits, embarking on a perilous search. They are shown encountering various challenges, including battling fierce fish in the depths to reclaim the sunken chest. The story culminates with the successful recovery of the treasure and the rewarding of the shipwrecked man.

Each card's bottom caption meticulously advances the story: 'Sur les Côtés de France, je fis Naufrage avec mon Trésor,' 'Après quelques périls ils le découvrirent,' 'Deux Scaphandres se mirent immédiatement à la Recherche,' 'Mais ils durent livrer une véritable Bataille pour s'en emparer,' 'Enfin j'eus le Bonheur de le Revoir,' and 'Voici la Recompense.' These highly collectible French advertising cards represent a charming piece of commercial history and a testament to imaginative marketing from the Belle Époque era.
