A marriage that has fallen on hard times is further tested by the couple's implication in a
murder. Jenny Lamour (Suzy Delair) is a music hall chanteuse married to her pianist husband
Maurice (Bernard Blier). Keen to get ahead, Jenny leaps at the chance when an ageing
wealthy businessman (Charles Dullin) offers her the chance of some gigs. However, when she
agrees to a meeting at his home and he is found dead later in the evening - Maurice's untamed
jealousy is in the frame. A Maigret-esque detective, Antoine, played by Louis Jouvet leaves
no stone unturned in his exceedingly private investigations of the down-at-heel showbiz
couple's sad, tempestuous life.
