Angleterre, début du XIX siècle. Sir Paul Deverill, aristocrate débauché et ruiné par le jeu, est sur le point d'épouser sans amour Vanessa, une jeune femme de son rang, issue d'une famille encore prospère. Or, il fait la connaissance de Belle, une bohémienne qu'il rencontre dans une foire et vers laquelle il se sent irrémédiablement attiré. Belle, dupée par les apparences et par le faste de sa demeure, le croit immensément riche. Elle l'épouse avec l'arrière-pensée de s'emparer de sa fortune. Elle agit avec la complicité de son amant, Jess. Belle ne tarde pourtant pas à apprendre, par la bouche de Sarah, la sœur de Paul Deverill, la véritable situation financière de son époux. Profitant du décès de la tante de Sarah, et agissant de concert avec un notaire malhonnête, elle falsifie le contenu du testament qui devrait permettre à Sarah d'hériter avant sa majorité. Sarah, à la faveur d'un incident, découvre toutefois l'original du testament. C'est alors qu'elle est d'abord kidnappée, puis, plus tard, enlevée et séquestrée dans une clinique psychiatrique.

The film closely follows the "American" version of Brecht's play Galileo. In 1609 Galileo is a mathematics professor in Padua, Italy. While his salary is inadequate, he possesses the freedom to pursue controversial scientific studies under the protection of the Venetian republic. Part of his work involves the use of a telescope, a relatively new scientific instrument brought from the Netherlands. Using the telescope, Galileo seeks to test the theories put forth by Nicolaus Copernicus that place the sun – and not the Earth – at the center of universe. As his research progress, Galileo accepts a more prestigious academic position in Florence, Italy. But his new position does not come with the government protection he enjoyed in Venice, and his friends in the higher echelons of the Roman Catholic Church refuse to come to his aid when he is summoned before the Inquisition.

Paris, January 1942. France is occupied by the Nazis. Robert Klein, apparently apolitical, is a well-to-do art dealer, Roman Catholic and Alsatian by birth, who takes advantage of French Jews who need to sell artworks to raise cash to leave the country. One day, the local Jewish newspaper, addressed to him, is delivered to his home. He learns that another Robert Klein who has been living in Paris, a Jew sought by the police, has had his mail forwarded to him in an apparent attempt to destroy his social reputation and make him a target of official anti-Semitism. He reports this to the police who remain suspicious that he may be reporting this scheme to disguise his own true identity. His own investigations lead him in contradictory directions, to Klein who lives in a slum while having an affair with his concierge and to Klein who visits a palatial country estate where he has seduced an apparently Jewish married woman. When the art dealer cannot locate the other Klein, authorities require him to offer proof of his French heritage. While waiting for the documentation to arrive, he struggles to track down his namesake and learn his motivation. Before he can resolve the situation by either means, he is caught up in the July 1942 roundup of Parisian Jews. He is reunited with Jews who once were his clients as they board boxcars for Germany.
