Although barred from residing in Paris because of a crime of passion, Robert returns there. Marthe draws him into her apartment, but she eludes him. He takes her to his place, with no more success. He follows her back to her place, where they discover the young woman’s husband’s corpse. Robert has no intention of calling the police. Furious, Marthe throws him out. She looks for a “new sucker” and stages the same scenario for him: an empty room, then a room with a corpse. Robert returns to see Marthe and gets her to confess. Before killing her husband, she had set up a second apartment just like hers on the floor above. An unforeseen detail will be her undoing.
