One day, Feodor receives a phone call informing him that his wife has been killed in a car accident. The police rule it an accident, but Feodor is convinced that it was murder and begins to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death. He becomes convinced that Riabouchinska's lover is responsible for her death and sets out to prove it.

As Feodor delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a web of lies and deceit that ultimately leads him to the truth about his wife's death. However, the truth is not what he expects, and Feodor is forced to confront his own demons in the process.

As with all episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, And So Died Riabouchinska is a compelling tale of suspense and intrigue that keeps the audience guessing until the very end.
