Inspector Maigret is considering retirement when a serial killer who viciously attacks women draws him back in. Maigret is the man who has experienced everything and has a pretty good idea about the rest. The Inspector sets the bait for the murderer and patiently waits for him to take it and be cornered by the superior mind. Annie Girador plays a lustful creature who has the misfortune to be the wife of a maniac. It all ends up in a desperate pursuit for a murderer amidst the slums of Paris with France's most famous detective scoring a decided triumph.
