Night Hood was a cartoon series inspired by the Arsène Lupin novels and was produced by Cinar and France Animation S.A. for television audiences in both English and French-speaking nations. It was set in the 1930s. The series aired in Canada in 1996 on YTV and in 1998 on Teletoon under the English-language title Night Hood, and in francophone markets as Les Exploits d'Arsène Lupin.
Lupin's allies (who he sometimes has to rescue) are his aide Grognard, veteran reporter Kelly Kincaid, and cub reporter Max Leblanc. The police, usually represented by Inspector Ganimard and Sergeant Folenfant, try to capture Lupin at every chance. Billionaire industrialist and arms manufacturer H. R. Karst is Lupin's arch-enemy. Karst's assistants are a tough man named Steele, a crafty woman called May Hem and a slightly incompetent called Diesel with a cunning named Gila, a pair of thugs.
