Synopsis

[edit]

Police investigating the murder of a young woman discover that she was pregnant when killed. Inspector Querneau's suspicions falls on Mario, the lover who abandoned her after discovering she was going to have a child. Although he turns out to be innocent of the actual crime of murder, it is clear his behaviour makes him the real culprit.
