Plot
French leading lady Annabella, better known in the U.S. for her marriage to Tyrone Power than her considerable acting accomplishments, stars in L'Homme qui Revient de Loin. The plot is set in motion when Jacques (Paul Bernard) knocks his cousin senseless during a quarrel. Believing he has killed the man, Jacques hides the "body" in a trunk. Soon afterward, he suffers nocturnal visitations from The Great Beyond--or so he thinks. It's all part of a vengeful scheme concocted by the "dead" man's ex-mistress Fanny (Annabella). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
