Dans le quartier parisien du Marais, plusieurs femmes seules ont été successivement assassinées chaque fois la nuit venue. Le commissaire Maigret soupçonne le criminel de chercher à le provoquer. Il fait arrêter un faux coupable consentant, Mazet, de manière à obliger le vrai meurtrier à se manifester lors de la reconstitution du dernier crime. Une auxiliaire de la police, qui servait d'appât, est agressée, mais riposte et son agresseur parvient à s'enfuir. Pendant ce temps, l'inspecteur Lagrume prend en filature une jeune femme, Yvonne Maurin, dont l'attitude lui paraît suspecte. Maigret rend visite à celle-ci et fait la connaissance de son mari Marcel, architecte-décorateur. Il s'avère que Marcel a passé sa jeunesse place des Vosges et que sa mère habite précisément le pâté de maisons où disparut l'assassin lors de sa dernière tentative. Bientôt, Maigret est certain de tenir le coupable et arrête Marcel Maurin. Mais un nouveau crime est commis alors que le suspect est en garde à vue au quai des Orfèvres.

The film begins with GloboTech Industries acquiring the Heartland Toy Company. CEO Gil Mars tells remaining toy designers Larry Benson and Irwin Wayfair to develop actual live-action toys capable of "playing back". Mars selects Larry's action figures, the Commando Elite, for the project and Irwin's educational toys, the Gorgonites, for their enemies. After Mars sees a commercial showing the toys doing activities they are incapable of doing, he accuses them of false advertising, saying Globotech delivers on what it promises. Mars then orders Benson to have the toys on the shelves in three months acting just as they do in the commercial or get fired. Faced with such a tight deadline, Benson forgoes safety testing, then uses Irwin's password and chooses GloboTech's overly powerful, X1000 intelligent AI munitions microprocessor integrated circuit to control the toys.

Four friends — Chloe (Skyler Shaye), Yasmin (Nathalia Ramos), Sasha (Logan Browning), and Jade (Janel Parrish) — are about to start high school. Self-centered Meredith Eilazbeth Vickrica Baxter Dimly (Chelsea Kane) wants everyone to belong to a clique, and goes about organizing people. She does not like the independent spirit of the four girls and plots to destroy their friendship and make them conform to her pre-fabricated cliques. Chloe is an amazing soccer player. She meets Cameron (Stephen Lunsford) and is instantly smitten. Sasha is recruited as a cheerleader. Jade joins the science kids and meets Dexter (Chet Hanks) and designs great outfits. Yasmin joins journalism, even though her real passion is singing even though she hasn't realized yet. She also feels lonely as her friends are busy with their own cliques. She also meets Dylan (Ian Nelson), who is deaf but can lip read. The friends begin to drift apart, as they are compelled to stay within their cliques. Two years later, when an accidental food fight causes them to get detention, they realize that they miss being BFFs and decide to be friends again. They also try to get the other schoolmates to socialize outside their cliques, but their attempts fail when Meredith's 2nd Super Sweet 16 party (which ends disastrously) has them seated with their original cliques. The upcoming talent show and its prize of a scholarship gives them the idea to bring all the cliques together again with an act, but the chances are slim with Meredith's constant attempts to steal the spotlight. In the end, there is a tie. Meredith gets the trophy, but the girls get the scholarship, which they later give to Cloe.
