One night, Jacques Decrey stops his car in front of the factory where
he is the manager. He takes a corpse out of the car and hides it
in one of the walls of the factory with cement. The dead man is
Yves Normand, his wife Gloria’s lover. Jacques recalls how it all
started, three months earlier, when he came home from work to find a
man kissing his wife on the doorstep. From the number plate of
the car belonging to the man, Jacques was able to infer his rival’s
identity. Jacques began to play with the situation, hiring a
private detective named Mauvin to take pictures of Gloria and
Yves. Then he began to blackmail the lovers and it amused him to
see Gloria asking him for money to pay off her blackmailer. But
the situation soon became more complicated than Jacques could ever have
envisaged. He did not expect that the relationship between Gloria
and Yves would get out of hand and that she would kill her lover...
