A series of prostitute murders disturb the public with the thought of a serial killer on the loose. Helene Picard, a prostitute, is sentenced and executed for the murders, but shortly thereafter similar crimes continue. Executioner Louis Guilbot (Claude Merlin) meanwhile develops a relationship with the investigating officer, Solange (Solange Pradel), who soon learns Louis may not be who he says he is.
