At the wedding he met her beautiful younger sister, Martine, and applied himself to removing all her suitors one by one. He then took to drugging Christine so that he could spend the nights with Martine, who had his baby. He thought he had a happy family of wife, mistress, and child until a mysterious road accident left him crippled for life and emasculated. Martine left him, and Christine brought him a drug so that he could end it all. After he took the drug, over the intercom Christine explained that while he was cavorting with Martine she was comforted by the co-director Berthier. Together they staged the accident, after which Berthier operated to remove Paul's mobility and virility. Paul screamed for help, but the room was soundproofed.
