French judge Cordier (Vincent Price), worried for his sanity after strange events following his having killed a condemned murderer in self defense, has been advised to resume old habits like sculpting, so he meets Odette (Nancy Kovack), in Diary Of A Madman, 1963, from stories by Guy De Maupassant.

Judge Cordier (Vincent Price) seems to be cracking up after killing a convicted murder in self defense, and has just accused his butler Pierre (Ian Wolfe) of surprising him by hanging a picture of his long-dead wife and son where he would find it, in Diary Of A Madman, 1963.

Initiating a flashback after the funeral, gallery owner D’Arville and his daughter (Edward Colmans, Elaine Devry), with Capt. Rennedon (Stephen Roberts) attending, begin executing the will of magistrate Cordier (Vincent Price, introduced here), early in Diary Of A Madman, 1963.
