Avary, himself a hustler, is jealous of his beautiful wife. He eavesdrops to catch Vilma, his wife, having supper with a neighbour on the terrace of their manor-house. He is about to shoot at the woman, but it is him who gets shot to death. The unknown murderer leaves behind his footprint, which the gardener plasters and hides. The head of the police department starts to investigate, trying to make the investigate findings look as though Avary's death were a suicide case. The family also start their own investigation, as a suicide would deprive them of the insurance money. They are now in possession of a piece of crucial evidence. The head of the police department, who is in love with Vilma, eventually turns out to have murdered Avary. The only solution for both himself and Vilma now is suicide. (official distributor synopsis)
