- Episode Description
- For many years M. Hire has lived a recluse's existence in a seedy Paris lodging house. He has no friends, receives no letters, goes out only to his office or to the cinema. One evening, a brutal killing occurs nearby. A young girl is murdered and her handbag is snatched. When Hire's landlady -- a shrill busybody and gossip - sees a towel in Hire's room, covered with blood from a shaving cut, she jumps to the wrong conclusion and suspects him of the murder. And when she recalls that very late during the night of the crime, she had to pull the cord by her bed to let someone into the house, she is doubly convinced of Hire's guilt. Hardly able to suppress her excitement and self-importance she informs the police of her suspicions. In his isolation, Hire had been in the habit of watching through his window into the room of another occupant of the house, Alice, who helps the concierge with the work. And so when the good-looking young woman, consumed by curiosity, pushes her way into his room on the pretext of delivering an envelope to him, Hire finds it impossible to refuse her admittance. As soon as she sees the arrangement of his room, Alice realizes that Hire can see into her room. In panic, she begins to seduce the lonely man. She tells him that the man he must have seen visiting her, often late at night, is just a casual lover. And, certain that Hire saw the lover Emile visit her the night of the murder and give her the victim's handbag to hide, Alice confesses that Emile is indeed the real killer. She says both she and Hire are in danger for Emile is violent and will kill them both if they talk. Hire is now thoroughly infatuated with Alice and convinced that she loves him. And so when he receives a summons from the police for questioning, he resolves to take Alice away with him. Afterwards he will send a letter to the authorities telling them that Emile is the murderer. He does not know that he, himself, is the prime suspect. But the police have uncovered the prison record which turned Hire into a recluse, and the net is closing around him. Only one piece of substantial evidence is needed to convict him. To keep him quiet and happy, Alice agrees to go away with Hire and, while he is out, she plants the handbag in his room. Now the police follow him on his final errands, see him go to a jeweller's to buy a ring, and then to the railroad station where, just before the arrival of the train which will carry him and Alice away to Venice, he mails a letter. But the train comes -- and goes -- and bewildered, he wanders back to the house in search of Alice, who tries to hide from him. The truth about Alice's deceit slowly sinks into his consciousness. Then, pursued by the police, while a mob of avid, scandal hungry neighbors surround him, he rushes distractedly upstairs, onto the roof, and falls to his death.
