Features: A thief breaks into a house to commit a robbery but accidentally encounters the homeowner. The two strike up a conversation and soon find themselves chatting comfortably. The homeowner, intentionally or unintentionally, asks the thief a question about murder. Later, they start playing chess. Just then, the wife returns, and as the three are unaware, a brutal murder occurs. Both the husband and wife are extremely intelligent, but their marriage has begun to crumble. At midnight, the wife suddenly wakes her husband, claiming that a thief has broken in. Reluctantly, the husband goes downstairs and indeed finds a thief.
