Based on the Graham Greene story The Basement Room, The Fallen Idol is told entirely from the perspective of a young boy, Phillipe, (Bobby Henrey) who is the son of an Ambassador. Phillipe idolizes his butler Baines (Ralph Richardson) whom he discovers is having an affair with the Embassy typist (Michèle Morgan). When Phillipe reveals this secret to Baines’ wife a quarrel ensues between the couple and the wife falls to her death. Although Phillipe tries to help his friend, his actions only serve to implicate Baines as a suspect in the murder of his wife
