Realising that he is about to die, the Count of Keraudren hides himself
behind a one-way mirror in a secret room at his chateau. From
here, he can observe the consequences of his sudden
disappearance. At the reading of the will, Keraudren’s relatives
are dismayed when they learn they will have to wait five years before
they can receive their share of the inheritance. The
hopeful beneficiaries are: Jean-Marie, a student, and his girlfriend,
Micheline; Jeanne, who is unhappily married to Claude and thinks only
of her cousin André; Edwige, a German horsewoman;
Guillaume, a fine arts attaché; the alcoholic Christian;
and Henri. To raise some badly needed money, this disparate group
of people decide to stage a son et lumière show at the chateau,
the theme being a love drama set in the middle ages. Whilst
repairing a spotlight, Henri is killed by an electric shock. Was
this an accident or murder...?
