Sportsman Jacques Dumesnil begins a friendship with Aimé Clariond and an affair with Clariond's wife, Marie Déa. Financial reverses come Dumesnil's way, and Clariond bails him out. His former valet, René Blancard, blackmails him over the affair, and is murdered by an associate. Dumesnil stands trial for his murder.

Willy Rozier was one of those directors who wished to be an auteur before the critics came up with the term, but seems to have lacked the ability. Each twist of the plot is resolved in a manner that suggests that Rozier got tired of it and simply ended it. The performers play it big. Dumensil, is a big man with black hair and a moustache, looking like Gilbert Roland, but he lacks Roland's swaggering charm. A two-bar theme by Jean Yatove plays occasionally and lushly on the stringed instruments to inform us of the great passions at play. I was not impressed.
