What happens

About an Inquest (French: Autour d'une enquête) is a 1931 German crime film directed by Henri Chomette and Robert Siodmak and starring Annabella, Jean Périer and Colette Darfeuil. It was produced by UFA, as the French-language version of the studio's film Inquest. Such multiple-language versions were common in the early years of sound before dubbing became widespread. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
