Maigret decides to believe in Heurtin Joseph, a young man sentenced to death for the murder of two elderly women in Saint-Cloud, which has always stubbornly maintained his innocence. The inspector is not sure of the choice he made to convince his superiors to organize an escape for the young man, to lead him to the real culprits.
