Summary
Simon Belin, a minor actor with a travelling theatre company, witnesses
a murder. Hoping that the publicity he will gain will help his
career, Simon identifies the killer as Lino Ferrari, a notorious
gangster who, in reality, is innocent of the crime. As a result
of Simon’s testimony, Ferrari is arrested and given a twenty year
prison sentence. The gangster swears that when he gets free,
Simon will have only three days to live...
