Summary
Monsieur Richard is summoned to his home by a mysterious phone
call. Not long afterwards, the millionaire business man is found
dead. The disappearance of several old masters would suggest that
Richard was killed in the course of a burglary. Lechat, the
police inspector in charge of the investigation, thinks
otherwise. An obvious suspect is Richard’s wife, who may have
done the deed so that she could claim a generous life insurance
payout. And she may have had another motive. It appears
that, not long before his death, Richard had fallen in love with a
young actress and was planning to leave his wife...
