Interesting though depressing period story of Blanchar being arrested for a robbery and murder he did not commit. He is identified as the highwayman whom he resembles (also played by Blanchar), and because of an interlude with a prostitute on the night of the crime he cannot provide an
alibi. Finally he is convicted and guillotined. Based on a factual incident. (In French; English subtitles.
