Despite the English title, in truth there are two French Detectives, based in Rouen. Verjeat is an aging, been-around gumshoe, while Lefevre is his young, callow and cynical associate. The two detectives don't like each other much at first, but this will change. Their current assignment is getting the goods on a corrupt politician. During an election, a fight between the supporters of two of the candidates. In the melee political thugs murder an opponent's volunteer and also kill a cop. The officer has time to warn his colleagues that the killer is Portor, a well-known thug whose brother is campaigning on behalf of law and order candidate Lardatte. Chief inspector Verjeat believes the politician who hired the thugs is as guilty as the murderous goon. His pursuit of Portor is hampered by Lardatte, for whom he has a personal dislike and misses no opportunity to humiliate. Verjeat's pursuit of Lardatte gets him a warning from his superiors. When he embarrasses Lardatte while disarming a hostage (the dead volunteer's father), Verjeat is told he's being promoted and transferred within a week to a posting outside of Rouen. This will take him off the case. As a result he then finds himself with a very short time to capture Portor. Verjeat is sure that his upcoming transfer is courtesy of Lardatte and his police contacts. He speeds up his hunt for the goon and, with Lefévre, he engineers a complicated scheme to buy more time before the transfer., 1h48

Les inspecteurs Lechat (Serge Reggiani) et Chemin (Philippe Léotard) entretiennent une amitié et une complicité au cours de leur travail de policier mené d'une façon assez décalée et avec un esprit libre. Lechat est considéré par ses chefs comme « star », très efficace, et ceux-ci ferment les yeux sur ses méthodes assez peu réglementaires et sur les suppléments de revenus qu'il s'offre sur le dos des voyous. , 1h55

À l'occasion de la venue à Londres d'une délégation scientifique soviétique, les services secrets britanniques enlèvent un de ses membres et le font passer pour mort. Il s'agit en fait d'un savant français, Clément Tibère, enlevé par le KGB seize ans plus tôt. Refusant de collaborer dans un premier temps par peur des pressions et des menaces de mort, Tibère finit cependant par accepter de dénoncer deux espions soviétiques participant à la délégation. Les Britanniques le relâchent alors sous une nouvelle identité. Mais, immédiatement, le KGB le pourchasse. Il essaye alors de regagner la France et de trouver un moyen d'échapper à la chasse à l'homme.
