Pozdnycheff, jeune fêtard, a détruit par sa légèreté le bonheur conjugal d’un de ses amis d’enfance qui s’est suicidé. Depuis, il est hanté par ce souvenir. Il se marie et devient alors la proie d’une jalousie maladive qui le conduit à tenter d’assassiner sa femme et un violoniste qu’il croit être son amant. « La sonate à Kreutzer » de Léon Tolstoï, où il est question de jalousie, inspira ce mélodrame à Jean Dréville (Le visiteur, La cage aux rossignols).
