Coppolos, an important investment magnate, is killed when his private
jet explodes. There is no doubt that a bomb was the cause of the
explosion and a criminal investigation is soon under way.
Laurent, a promising functionary at the ministry of foreign affairs,
informs the inspector in charge of the case of conflicting interests
for East and West. On the East side there is Alain Compton, a
young financial genius; the West is represented by Georges Richter,
Coppolos' main business partner. Then there is Anna Maria di
Scorza, the authorized agent of the group, former mistress of Coppolos
and Richter's ex-wife, who is now attempting to seduce Compton.
These three are competing for the whole of the dead man's vast personal
fortune. Richter conceives a devilish plan to eliminate his
rivals: kill Compton and fabricate proof that will incriminate Anna
Maria, whom he will then dispose of, making her death appear to be
suicide. Unfortunately, Richter is blissfully unaware that
Compton has come up with exactly the same plan, with him as the first
murder victim...
