Characters
- Bobo is a prisoner. His only goal in life is to successfully break out of Riegelfest. Like his fellow prisoners, he is dressed in the classic black and yellow striped prison gown known from the Daltons .
- Pincers Henry (initially Julius the simpleton , in the original Julot-les-pinceaux ) is Bobo's incompetent, but at least at large, escape helper, who repeatedly supports him in his escape attempts, albeit in vain.
- The director of Riegelfest treats the prisoners entrusted to him more like a good-natured father, and he is always indulgent towards Bobo's attempts to escape.
- Baby Joe (initially Ede , originally Joe la Candeur ) is a brutal, albeit not very intelligent, fellow prisoner who repeatedly thwarted Bobo's escape plans , sometimes involuntarily.
