Teacher Janek Mitter wakes one morning unable to remember who he is. As he stumbles into the bathroom, he sees the body of a beautiful woman floating dead in his bath. It is his wife, Eva, and she has been viciously attacked. Even during his trial, Janek has no memory of attacking his wife, nor any idea as to who could have killed her. Only when he is sentenced and locked up in an asylum for the criminally insane does he have a snatch of insight. He scribble something in his Bible, but is murdered before the clue can be uncovered.
