Nothing could suit Paul better when his paralysed wife Marie dies in a car accident.  He is now free to marry his mistress Françoise and start a new life.  But before he can do so, Marie's sister Anne (who bears an uncanny resemblance to the dead woman) takes up residence in his house.  Not long after, Paul is visited by a man named Carouse who asks him if he is content with the service he has provided for him.  Confused, Paul wonders whether he should call in the police or if he is implicated in a crime of which he is entirely ignorant...
