Synopsis:

Dominique Marceau is on trial for the murder of Gilbert Tellier. The counsels duel relentlessly, elaborating explanations for why the pretty, idle and fickle girl killed the talented and ambitious conductor freshly graduated from the conservatory. Was it passion, vengeance, desperation, an accident? The acquaintances of Gilbert testify, as well as Dominique's former lovers, and her sister, Annie, the studious violin player engaged to Gilbert. The evidence they give progressively paints a more finely-shaded picture of the personalities of Dominique and Gilbert, and of their relationship, than the eloquent and convincing justifications of the counsels.

The main attraction in this downbeat, routine drama by director Henri-Georges Clouzot is Brigitte Bardot as lead character Dominique, a small-town woman who is undone by big-city life and inner-city morals. Told in a series of flashbacks during a murder trial, the complicated plot begins when Dominique goes to Paris and launches into various affairs with Left Bank intellectual types. After a brief fling with her sister's boyfriend, they quarrel and split. Time goes by and he scores in his career as a conductor while she deteriorates into prostitution. Fate tragically brings them together one more time when Dominique realizes she always loved him, in spite of everything.

In this Lone Ranger western comprised of two television episodes, hapless Tonto finds himself framed and an unlucky Chinese laundryman finds himself the victim of prejudice.
