La grande frousse

Two police inspectors, Triquet and Virgus, pursue Mickey le bénédictin, a counterfeiter on the run. They investigate in the village of Barges, where Triquet encounters a strange population, including Franqui, a peeping Tom, and Gosserand, a nervous boucher. The investigation becomes a series of bizarre events, as Triquet tries to uncover the truth behind a series of murders, which ultimately lead him to discover that Livina, the secretary of the mairie, is the killer.
