Unfortunately, things do not go according to plan. Having disposed of Louis’s body, Jeff heads off to Italy in the victim’s car, leaving Julie to face the police alone. Commissioners Lamy and Villon appear to accept her story that Louis fell off his boat after having suffered a fatal heart attack, but Julie is then shocked to learn that on the day before his death Louis withdrew all his money from his bank and put his house up for sale. Louis’s car is then found, smashed up at the foot of a precipice, with no sign of a body. With both Louis and Jeff missing, and her fortune evaporated, Julie is at a loss to understand what is happening.
