Robert Maurisson, a wealthy industrialist, invites his old friend, Antonio Berti, an expert in religious art, to restore some liturgical paintings at Reims Cathedral. One day, the body of a young girl, Cathy Massys, is fished out of a canal. Cathy was not only a member of a choir run by Robert, she was also Antonio’s model. Antonio thought he saw his friend near the canal on the night of the murder, but Robert denies he was anywhere near the place. To protect Robert, Antonio gives false evidence, which leads to the arrest of a gardener. When the latter is released for lack of evidence, Inspector Guerin focuses his attention on Robert, but he supplies an unbreakable alibi. Antonio, however, cannot give an account of his time on the night of the crime...
