The Crime of Monsieur Lange
A guy and a woman show up in a cafe-hotel near the belgian frontier. The customers recognize the man from the authorities's summary. His name is Amedee Lange, he murdered Batala in Paris. His lady friend Valentine tells the whole story: Lange was a staff member in Batala's little printing works. Batala was a real bastard, scamming every one, seducing female workers of Valentine's laundry ... One day he ran away to avoid facing his creditors, and the employees set up a cooperative to take place working. Yet the story is less important that the summary of the ambience just before the Popular Front.
