Comme il le souhaitait dès l'époque de sa rencontre avec René Boirond, François Lesbuche est devenu commissaire à l'IGS, là où lui et René avaient été embauchés à la fin du deuxième opus. Malgré son grade et sa volonté d'être incorruptible, il n'hésite pas à rejouer les ripoux pour aider son vieil ami René, retraité reclus sur sa péniche. Impliqué bien malgré lui dans une affaire de blanchiment d'argent, René qui a accidentellement perdu le magot qui lui avait été confié est poursuivi par les commerçants chinois de Belleville. Avec l'aide d'un ami chirurgien, Albert, René change d'identité et devient Jean Morzini, un patient de la clinique d'Albert récemment décédé. Il reçoit alors la visite d'une certaine Maud qui lui remet les instructions pour le casse d'une banque que Morzini avait prévu de cambrioler ; et de la fille du vrai Morzini, Marie, qui n'avait jamais vu son père et croit que c'est René. Simultanément, François prend sous sa tutelle un jeune stagiaire, Julien, filleul de son patron, qui s'éprend de Marie.

James Bond is driving from Lake Garda to Siena, Italy, with the captured Mr. White in the boot of his car. After evading pursuers, Bond and M interrogate White regarding his organization, Quantum. M's bodyguard Craig Mitchell, a double agent, attacks M, enabling White to escape. Bond chases Mitchell and kills him.
