Based on a novel by Dominique Roulet, introduces the character of Inspecteur Lavardin, a loner detective whose affable exterior hides a man willing to go to any lengths to find the truth, though his tactics are sometimes questionable. A small French town experiences a spate of murders, and Lavardin is called in to investigate. He meets withdrawn teenager Louis Cuno, a postman who uses his position to gather information to stop a plot to take over his family's property. Louis lives with his overbearing, crippled mother, whose cruelty spurs Louis to take his amateur sleuth work a bit too far.
