A young wife trapped in marriage to her sickly cousin takes his friend as her lover, and together they drown her husband and marry, only to be haunted by the paralysed mother who saw it all. They finally poison themselves together.

The mouth of the young woman rested on the scar that the teeth of Camille had left on the neck of her husband.
