Despite the English title, in truth there are two French Detectives, based in Rouen. Verjeat is an aging, been-around gumshoe, while Lefevre is his young, callow and cynical associate. The two detectives don't like each other much at first, but this will change. Their current assignment is getting the goods on a corrupt politician. During an election, a fight between the supporters of two of the candidates. In the melee political thugs murder an opponent's volunteer and also kill a cop. The officer has time to warn his colleagues that the killer is Portor, a well-known thug whose brother is campaigning on behalf of law and order candidate Lardatte. Chief inspector Verjeat believes the politician who hired the thugs is as guilty as the murderous goon. His pursuit of Portor is hampered by Lardatte, for whom he has a personal dislike and misses no opportunity to humiliate. Verjeat's pursuit of Lardatte gets him a warning from his superiors. When he embarrasses Lardatte while disarming a hostage (the dead volunteer's father), Verjeat is told he's being promoted and transferred within a week to a posting outside of Rouen. This will take him off the case. As a result he then finds himself with a very short time to capture Portor. Verjeat is sure that his upcoming transfer is courtesy of Lardatte and his police contacts. He speeds up his hunt for the goon and, with Lefévre, he engineers a complicated scheme to buy more time before the transfer.

Rico et Margot Santorini ne s'aiment plus. Lui, play-boy vaguement diplomate, collectionne les aventures féminines ; Margot, belle, riche et courtisée est dans l'attente d'un grand amour. En cette année 1936, le monde décadent et sans âme de la grande bourgeoisie grecque n'offre guère d'occasions de vivre intensément comme le souhaiterait la romanesque Margot, qui cache sa véritable nature sous un masque de cynisme et de frivolité. Certes, il y a Raoul Malfosse, le plus assidu et le plus sympathique de ses soupirants ; mais il est semblable à ces nombreux industriels plus attachés à la réussite de leurs affaires qu'au sort du monde. Cette chaude nuit d'août, où de sa fenêtre Margot est le témoin d'une chasse à l'homme, va bouleverser la destinée de la jeune femme.
