Der Mörder kam um Mitternacht (1959)
Die Frau des Lastwagenfahrers Ancelin wurde von ihrem Geliebte umgebracht. Nun will Ancelin sich am Mörder seiner Frau rächen. Er überrascht den Mörder in seiner Wohnung, erwürgt ihn und lässt es wie einen Selbstmord aussehen. Es scheint das perfekte Verbrechen zu sein, doch als Ancelin die Wohnung verlässt, bemerkt er, dass dort ein Taxi wartet. Der Taxifahrer ist womöglich der einzige Zeuge der Tat. Für Ancelin steht fest, dass er Lambert eliminieren muss und so beginnt eine turbulente Verfolgungsjagd durch die Straßen des nächtlichen Paris.
