NOTES B&W Set in Paris
A diplomat ends up in court accused as a criminal. He is questioned by a physician specialising in mental disorders, as he explains he is a doctor who deals with the brain not a psycho-analyst. The diplomat says he has amnesia after a train accident and has no memory before 1922. There are two doctors, one for the defence, one for the prosecution and both have foreign (German?) accents. They discuss -- what is amnesia.
He is accused of being someone else but is exonerated by the evidence of a stranger who then blackmails him.
