Synopsis
Carl Krastner (Pierre Brasseur), a pianist who is traumatized by an accident, is so much affected that the talent that fueled his career has been killed off. Desperate to find a way to make money anyway, he starts to put together a plan to defraud an insurance company. At first, his wife (Michele Morgan) goes along with this scheme but then she meets a writer (Gabriele Ferzetti) and her head and heart get distracted, with serious consequences for her husband.
