Nicole, a young lawyer, is given her first case in court. However her defence of Achille Panoyau, accused of murder, is unsuccessful and he is sentenced to be executed. She then tells her fiancée Claude that she will not marry him unless he can save Panoyau from "the widow" - a nickname for the guillotine. Claude does this by stealing the guillotine and taking it with them on their honeymoon. Whilst evading the police on their tail they manage to discover the real murderer and Panoyau is set free.
