Synopsis
Jojo Braconnier and his wife Lulu can no longer stand each other. One day on TV, Jojo sees the famous defense lawyer Maurice Jacquard celebrate his twenty-fifth acquittal. Jojo is very impressed; unable to put up with his marriage any longer, he goes to see Jacquard and announces that he has killed his wife (which isn't true), and then learns from the venerable master what kind of extenuating circumstances might lead to an acquittal in such a murder case. Encouraged by what he's learned, Jojo goes home, and decides to put the lawyer's theories to the ultimate test.
