During World War I, a seemingly respectable middle-aged man Henri Landru has devised an ingenious means of obtaining money to supplement his dwindling income. Adopting various assumed names, he lures middle-class women to his villa at Gambais just outside Paris, where he kills them and burns their bodies. He then helps himself to his victims’ bank accounts so that he can keep his wife, his mistress and his four children in the manner to which they have grown accustomed. Having murdered ten women and one boy, Landru is finally captured and placed before a court of law. Eloquent in his protestations of innocence, he is confident that no jury will condemn a man of such intellect and breeding.

Martial (Daniel Auteuil) is discharged from a mental institution where he spent a few years due to a serious nervous breakdown. During his hospitalization, he ceases to speak with everyone, including his wife Régine (Thérèse Liotard), whom he had encouraged to find a new partner soon after entering the clinic. Upon his return, he finds his mother (Danielle Darrieux), a busy business woman who owns a supermarket chain. She's convinced that her son, who by now hardly talks to anyone after his experience, will be able to find himself again if tasked with some responbibilities. Soon enough, he's sent to Limoges on a business trip to check on one of their stores in the hope to reinvigorate its failing business. Once he arrives, Martial is faced with responsibilities he had never imagined, including dealing with the store's personnel. Due to his lack of people skills, this job is a difficult task. Meantime, as instructed by his mother, he checks on the accounting handled by the manager, Mr. Fonfrin (Jean-Pierre Marielle), and he soon realizes that the reason for the branch's close-to-failure status is that Fonfrin is padding the books. Due to his inability to take charge for anything in life, Martial fails to perform his duties and instead befriends the crooked manager, who invites the naive heir to join him and his wife (Dominique Lavanant) for dinner one night. He immediately falls in love with Francine (Sandrine Bonnaire), the maid, an eccentric young woman with whom he has a brief relationship. Martial unconditionally showers her with all kinds of gifts, as this is the first time in several years that he feels close to someone; it is a short episode that makes his dejected life momentarily look brighter. He lets his work fall behind for her but, unfortunately, the romance doesn't last long and, upon his return to Paris, he is deemed incompetent and re-admitted to the hospital.

Félix et Gabrielle Bonnadieu font chambre à part. Félix sait que sa femme le trompe avec le jeune Pascal qui s'introduit toutes les nuits par la fenêtre. Une nuit, Félix surprend Pascal pendant qu'il monte l'escalier, feint de croire qu'il est un voleur et menace d'appeler la police. Gabrielle intervient et demande à son époux de faire preuve d'indulgence. Félix pense alors que la leçon est suffisante, mais Pascal revient la nuit suivante. Félix le surprend de nouveau et se jette sur le téléphone, c'est alors que Louisette, la jeune domestique, se porte au secours de sa patronne en déclarant que Pascal venait la rejoindre dans sa chambre. Désorienté, Félix ne sait plus quoi faire ; son ami et collaborateur Mouffe lui conseille de rendre Gabrielle jalouse ; c'est donc ce qu'il fait, mais ça ne marche pas. Alors que Félix touche le fond, c'est la grand-mère de Gabrielle qui arrange l'affaire. Dans un premier temps, elle jette Pascal dans les bras de Louisette au grand dam de Gabrielle, puis explique que la fidélité du cœur n'a rien à voir avec la fidélité du corps. Ainsi, un soir, après que Félix et Gabrielle à leur retour de l'opéra ont convié à leur table le ténor qui n'avait d'yeux que pour Gabrielle et, qu'à la nuit venue, Félix entend le ténor monter les escaliers en s'étant introduit par la fenêtre, il prend la chose avec philosophie.
