action
Maryvonne Levasseur, a very old wealthy lady, is found shot dead in her Paris apartment. Commissioner Michel Masselot is entrusted with the investigation. His boss urges him to close the case quickly. Photos that the murdered woman was holding in her hands at the time of her death are a first step in the investigation. Masselot's colleague Martine finds out that all of the people pictured belonged to a resistance group from the time of the German occupation . She can even track down one of the group's survivors, whom Martine and Masselot interview together. And that, although Masselot had recently been withdrawn from the case for some inexplicable reason and he only narrowly escaped an attempted murder. Masselot suspects a conspiracy against him.
The dead is identified by the surviving resistance fighter Nathan Burstein as his former colleague Rosa. In 1938, at the age of 16, she fled Venice with her parents from the Mussolini regime to Paris and joined the Twentieth Group . In 1941 her parents were imprisoned in the camp along with foreign Jews . Rosa got an offer to see her parents free again if she betrayed her communist comrades. This is exactly what she did, so that most of the resistance fighters were executed. Only three of them escaped and after the end of the German occupation they report charges against Rosa. Jean Lectoure, influential politician and currently accused of corruption , helped her to survive the complaint unscathed and to go into hiding under a new name. As Maryvonne Levasseur, she later opened a brothel , where she received people like Lectoure, rich in power and money, and sold the information she had gained to the secret service.
At Maryvonne's funeral, Masselot makes contact with her once close friend Jean Lectoure. Lectoure is certain that Maryvonne was killed for doing money laundering for him. He is being investigated for illegal arms deals. She would probably not have been able to withstand the upcoming questioning. She has shown herself to be a traitor and an opportunist several times in her life .
Masselot is transferred to the Paris area for illegally continuing the investigation into the murder. In one last conversation, Martine confesses to having lured him on the wrong track on behalf of the police. The motive of the late revenge for the betrayal of the communist comrades was only staged. Shortly before leaving for his new place of residence, Masselot is shot by an assassin.
