The Fleeing Dead

Directed by André Berthomieu

With Jules Berry, Michel Simon, Marie Glory, Fernande Albany and Gaston Mauger

Two second-rate, hammy actors, Hector Trignol and Achille Baluchet, come up with a fake murder story to draw attention to themselves. Baluchet is to kill Trignol, who will temporarily disappear then reappear, as if by magic, during the trial. But things don't go according to plan.
