Professor Shukichi Somiya (Chishu Ryu), a widower, has only one child, a twenty-seven-year-old unmarried daughter, Noriko (Setsuko Hara), who takes care of the household and the everyday needs—cooking, cleaning, mending, etc.—of her father. On a shopping trip to Tokyo, Noriko encounters one of her father's friends, Professor Jo Onodera (Masao Mishima), who lives in Kyoto. Noriko knows that Onodera, who had been a widower like her father, has recently remarried, and she tells him that she finds the very idea of his remarriage distasteful, even "filthy."

Dans une ville d'Italie, des femmes de notables et de politiciens sont sauvagement assassinées par un tueur en série. Point commun de toutes les victimes : elles sont belles, se connaissent et trompent leur mari. D'abord épiées, elles sont ensuite photographiées avec leurs amants par le meurtrier qui, enfin, s'introduit chez elles pour les tuer à l'arme blanche. Avant de quitter les lieux, il laisse à côté de la victime les clichés compromettants qu'il a pris d'elles, le visage de l'amant ayant été préalablement effacé par le maniaque.
