Summary:
A unique triptych film features three murders, one taking place in Paris, another in Rome, and another in London. All of the perpetrators are affluent youths, each killing for his own dubious motive. In the France segment, a group of adolescents kill for money, even though they don't need it. In the London segment, a poet uncovers a woman's body and tries to profit from the discovery. And in the Italian segment (original uncut elongated version as presented at the 1953 Venice Film festival), a student becomes caught up in a smuggling ring, with deadly results.
