Synopsis
Professor Winckler, master of occult sciences, murders his wife's lover. Then he offers Hélène, trainer of the nightclub where he works, a large sum of money so that she claims to have spent the night with him. At first, she accepts, but, discovering the crime, she wants to retract. Winckler threatens her and, frightened, she is silent. Suspecting the inaccuracy of this alibi, a young police inspector courts the young woman in order to obtain her confession.
