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.

Aleksey Teodorovic Vlassov (Yul Brynner) is a high ranking KGB official who defects while in France. He has with him highly-classified information as part of a deal with Western intelligence for his arrival in the United States. The debriefing is held at Langley by DCI Allan Davies (Henry Fonda) and MI6 representative Philip Boyle (Dirk Bogarde). Vlassov hands off a list of enemy agents in Western Europe including a deep penetration into NATO. Davies wants to begin operations to arrest the agents; however, those on the list suddenly begin to die off. The CIA also has suspicions over the authenticity of Vlassov's claims. The CIA discovers that a defection photo of Vlassov was taken in the Soviet Union, not in Turkey, judging from the contours of Mt. Ararat in the background. Vlassov also fails a lie detector test after he angrily protests about sexual related questions asked by the CIA during the test.

However, before he manages to accomplish his mission, the political situation changes drastically and the French secret service resorts to handing over Beaumont to the Malagawian authorities. After a long, unfair trial, during which Beaumont is injected with drugs, he is sentenced to long-term penal servitude at a "re-education camp".

Armand de la Verne, a lieutenant in the French cavalry and a notorious seducer, undertakes a bet that he will "obtain the favours" of a woman selected secretly by lot, before his company departs for its summer manoeuvres in a month's time. His target turns out to be Marie-Louise Rivière, a Parisian divorcée who runs a milliner's shop, and who is also being courted by the serious and respectable Victor Duverger. Marie Louise's growing attraction towards Armand is tempered by her discoveries about his reputation, while Armand's calculated strategy become undermined by his genuine emotions. A subplot follows the parallel but simpler courtship of Armand's friend and fellow officer Félix and Lucie, the young daughter of a photographer.
