El hombre de la torre Eiffel (1949)
Bill Kirby, un hombre sin escrúpulos que vive a costa de su tía, planea deshacerse de ella para heredar su fortuna, divorciarse y casarse con una amiga de su mujer. Para llevar a cabo su plan, contrata a Johann Radek, un estudiante de medicina sin recursos. De la investigación del caso se ocupa el inspector Maigret, que siguiendo ciertas pistas acaba localizando a Radek.
