  “An American came all the way here to visit a friend of his. The name was Lime. Harry Lime. Now Martins was broke and Lime had offered him some sort, I don’t know, some sort of a job. Anyway, there he was. Poor chap. Harry is a lark and without a cent”.

 
  Holly Martin, a writer, comes to Vienna under division occupation from the United States. Although visited to postwar Vienna in which Martin is called for Harry Lime who is an old friend and which is under the four country’s governments, the place to which it came first was a graveyard where Harry's funeral is held. Harry encountered the traffic accident and had died. Although Martin who whose reliance lost had alcohol invited by Major MP Calloway of Britain which attended at the funeral although it was puzzled, it did not get used to the feeling that Harry hears that he is a villain and believes with the black curtain of a black market. Martin went bankrupt in the United States, was invited by Harry and the enterprise in a mental revolution and this Vienna, and had come by that mind.

And as a result of asking the gatekeeper of Harry's hotel, etc., it turns out that the janitor of the hotel of Harry who was looking at the spot where he was run over by the car existed. She is Martin who never arrives at the 3rd man although two human beings of them found having seen the accident by three men. But although action is made into  with Anna and it is beginning to be charmed by her, the janitor who should know the truth will be murdered by whether you are whom. And Martin herself was targeted by black marketeers and had also required the suspicion of janitor murder. On the other hand, Anna is abducted by the Soviet Union MP by having possessed the fake passport.

  Martins who came out meeting in not knowing from her house found in the town Harry who must have died.
