Prelude To Ecstasy

Hitchhiker Kaarina gets a ride from Makela, a middle-aged businessman, who brings her to his summer house. She spends the night and they become lovers, even though he is married. Later that summer, Kaarina also begins an affair with the young Salminen. Makela then agrees to divorce his wife and marry Kaarina. One night, Salminen comes to the bedroom window via a ladder. He falls and breaks his neck, sending Makela into a panic. He hides the body to avoid scandal, but is later arrested when Kaarina feels guilty over the incident and calls the police.
