Synopsis
After the war, Pierre Roubier returns home, optimistic about the future, only to find his wife in bed with another man.  In a moment of madness, Pierre shoots his wife’s lover dead.  Arrested and tried for the murder, Pierre is given a light sentence on account of his impressive military record.  A few years later, Pierre is once again a free man and he goes to Portugal to start a new life.  He finds work as a taxi driver and one of his first clients is the young and wealthy widow Kathleen Dinver.  She has just arrived from London after an inquest into the mysterious death of her husband.  Because they both have something they would like to forget, Pierre and Kathleen feel able to confide in one another and they begin to fall in love.  Pierre soon discovers that Kathleen is being followed by Inspector Lewis of Scotland Yard.  Lewis is convinced that Kathleen had something to do with her husband’s death...
