"Paris, 1941. Als Vergeltung für eine Aktion der Résistance soll ein willkürlich verhafteter Rechtsanwalt von den Nazis hingerichtet werden. Ein junger Mitgefangener tauscht das Unglückslos mit ihm gegen das Vermögen des wohlhabenden Anwalts, um es seiner Mutter und seiner Schwester zu vermachen. Unter falschem Namen sucht der innerlich gebrochene Rechtsanwalt nach der Befreiung die Frauen auf, die voller Haß auf ihren unbekannten "Gönner" sind. Erst im Tode findet er die Vergebung der Schwester. Mit viel Feingefühl bewegend inszeniertes (Fernseh- )Drama um Schuld und Sühne, ganz im Geiste des Moralisten Graham Greene.
