Парижский студент-медик Иоганн Радек, нуждающийся в деньгах, говорит своему другу Биллу Кирби, что он сможет за небольшое вознаграждение убить его богатую тетку. Тогда Кирби унаследовал бы ее состояние, смог бы заплатить за развод со своей женой и жениться на супруге своего друга. В ночь убийства бывший грабитель Хертен наталкивается на трупы старой леди и ее служанки. Но Хертен настолько слеп, да еще потерял свои очки, что убийца осмеливается довести Хертена до его дома. Комиссар Мэгре быстро находит владельца очков, лежавших неподалеку от убитых женщин. Тот опознает в своем добродетеле Радека, но против него нет явных улик. Но Радек начинает вести себя так, что убеждает в своей виновности полицию. Он начинает шантажировать Хертена, потом Кирби, затем супругу Кирби, а потом свою возлюбленную, чтобы те помогали ему. Комиссар Мэгре, тем временем, никуда не торопиться, ожидая, когда Радек совершит решающую ошибку. В конце концов, он вместе с полицией ловит Радека на Эйфелевой башне…
