Whilst performing his famous mind-reading act at a Parisian nightclub, Professor Winckler recognises his most hated enemy in the audience. After the show, he pursues the man, an American gangster named Gordon, and shoots him dead. He then bribes Hélène, a young woman who works in the nightclub, to give him an alibi for the killing. Certain of Winckler’s guilt, Commissioner Calas contrives a scheme to destroy his alibi. Suspicion is thrown on a young man André Laurent who has succeeded in winning Hélène’s affection. How will Hélène react when she realises Laurent is in fact Calas’s colleague?
