The great French character Raimu stars in Strangers in the House. He is cast as Loursat, the father of teenager Nicole. When Nicole's petty-thief boyfriend is accused of murder, Loursat, a once-great attorney who has taken to drink, cleans up his act and defends the lad in court. Filmed in 1942, Strangers in the House attained an American release in 1949, three years after Raimu's death.
