La signora delle undici (1948)
Stanislao Ottavio Semichon, detto S.O.S., è un giovane esploratore che si accinge a trascorrere le vacanze in casa del Dr. Pescarà, suo vecchio amico. Da qualche tempo quest’ultimo riceve minacciose lettere anonime, del cui contenuto non vuole mettere al corrente nessuno. Suo figlio Carlo, seguendo una certa traccia, compie un viaggio a Vimy, paese del nord della Francia. Al suo ritorno viene misteriosamente assassinato. Prima del delitto però ha il tempo di inviare un racconto dettagliato del suo viaggio a S.O.S. Qualche giorno dopo anche Gerardo Pescarà viene avvelenato e rimane completamente paralizzato. Sulla base dei dati fornitigli da Carlo, S.O.S. si reca in alcuni paesi del settentrione - ove il Dr. Pescarà aveva vissuto durante la prima guerra - e comincia a raccogliere le fila di una complicata vicenda familiare. Paolo Wantz, il fidanzato di Marcella, figlia di Gerardo Pescarà, ricattava il futuro suocero, aveva fatto uccidere sua moglie da un'altra donna.
