Madeleine is falling apart. He knows that his wife wants to start
an affair with friend, Jean Sauviot. Jean is a lonely man who is
attracted to Madeleine but doesn’t want to commit himself to the wife
of a friend. On the day that Madeleine tells her husband that she
is seeing Jean, Laurent goes looking for Jean to find an
explanation. Arriving on the docks in the evening, he attacks an
American sailor who looks like Jean, but the man fights back and runs
away after killing Laurent accidentally. Madeleine thinks that

with her lover. The police have other ideas...
