Scotland Yard are called in when a body at a morgue disappears.
It then suddenly reappears with different clothes. The dead man appears to have fallen in a river and drowned.
The police manage to identify the dead man. He was a diabetic who needed regular insulin.
It is just that the corpse had no signs of ever being diabetic.
A puzzle for the police. However the possibility of a large life insurance payout to the deceased's wife means that they follow a lead that takes them to the south of France.
The police soon figure that this is a scam life insurance claim. They just need to find the supposedly dead man and his wife.
It is a clever story although these type of fake life insurance scams tend to be a bit more known about these days. The story also has a bitter twist.
