Antoine Brisebard, a famous comedy playwright, is struggling with financial difficulties and is preparing to sell his country villa to an English couple. What no one knows, however, is that Brisebard is actually a victim of blackmail since his wife Sylvie, a famous actress, is the daughter of a notorious robber-murderer. His extortionist is a malevolent criminal only known as Jo, who visits him often to pick up his hush money. But faced with certain ruin, Brisebard is preparing to do away with Jo once and for all, planning his deed under the guise of him trying to write the script for a crime play and consulting his friend, attorney Colas, for ideas of how to efficiently get rid of the body.

Louis Bourdin, un humble poinçonneur de métro à la RATP, vantard mais peureux, travaille à la station Quai de la Rapée. Il est tellement fanatique de romans policiers qu'il en écrit un lui-même. Il prend le pseudonyme de Lenormand, et intitule son roman « Rapt à la RATP » : l'histoire imaginaire du hold-up de la rame des finances, qui collecte quotidiennement la recette des stations à la fin de service, vol qu'il décrit avec un luxe de détails. Il le propose à plusieurs éditeurs. Ceux-ci le dédaignant, il en fera bénéficier, bien imprudemment, une tout autre profession ... reconnaissante, mais dangereuse !
