A long run sensation in Paris, with enough loop the loops to stymie the most fervent crime buffs, Paul and his partner have just eliminated a third partner, with a new radar device as the stakes.
But the partner is discovered playing footsie with Paul's wife, so Paul eliminates the partner as well.
He then stages a burglary, eliminates the wife, and turns out to have an intimate relationship with the maid.
