Nina K, the wife of the painter Kandinsky, is found dead for no apparent motive apart from the theft of her jewellery.
Years later, Monsieur Michel, a jeweller, witnesses the murder of a man who came to him for the assessment of a necklace missing some gems. The jeweller knew that necklace, for it is its sale that allowed his parents to move from Pondichéry to Paris when he was a child.
The lover of the murdered man, Gilberte, a prostitute, finds comfort in Michel's arms, introducing him to an underworld he never knew existed. When the killer is told by a fortune teller that the necklace will prove to be fatal to its owner if it is incomplete, he forces Monsieur Michel to find the missing gems.
