Synopsis

Wera Holm, a ballerina, waits outside an apartment block with a pistol waiting for the womanising choreographer who has now dropped her for one of the other dancers. She takes two shots at him, misses, and then dives into a nearby apartment of the artist Petrus Sommar. When the choreographer turns up dead, it appears there is someone else who has reason to kill him.
