What happens

The Last of the Six (French: Le dernier des six) is a 1941 French mystery thriller film directed by Georges Lacombe and starring Pierre Fresnay, Michèle Alfa and Suzy Delair. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art director Andrej Andrejew. It is based on the 1931 novel The Six Dead Men by the Belgian writer Stanislas-André Steeman. The film was made in Occupied France by the German-backed Continental Films, with the screenplay by Henri-Georges Clouzot who headed the company's scenario department. It was followed by a sequel in 1942 The Murderer Lives at Number 21 directed by Clouzot, with Fresnay and Delair reprising their roles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
