After his honeymoon in Venice, Daniel Corban stops in a village in the Alps, where he reports the disappearance of his young wife to the police. Following an argument, she leaves without returning for several days. The commissioner in charge of investigating the case is forced to admit that the investigation is at a standstill and that the young husband must be patient until the lost couple is found.
When the village priest announces to Daniel that he has found his wife, he is completely astonished: the woman who appears is a stranger. She firmly claims that her husband suffers from amnesia and, in order to strengthen her position, submits to an interrogation that she successfully passes. Faced with this unforeseen situation, the commissioner (and with him the viewer) no longer knows who to believe: the priest? the husband? the wife? Who is lying and who is telling the truth? Is Daniel Corban the victim of a fit of madness or a plot aimed at obtaining an inheritance through imposture?
