Maigret is staying in a hotel where he meets a young man named Philippe who is also holidaying in Les Sables. Philippe is staying with his mother and stepfather, and as Maigret gets to know him, he realizes that something in Philippe's behavior doesn't quite add up.
Shortly after, a murder occurs in the town and Philippe is a key suspect. Maigret is reluctant to get involved in the case but when he learns that the local police force is inexperienced, he takes it upon himself to help solve the crime.
As he delves deeper into the investigation, Maigret uncovers a web of lies and deceit, and he soon realizes that nothing is quite what it seems. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including the victim's sister who is hiding a secret, and the arrogant local police chief who is more interested in publicity than justice.
Despite the challenges he faces, Maigret remains focused on his mission to uncover the truth and bring the killer to justice. He weaves his way through the complex web of clues and misleading information until he finally discovers the identity of the murderer.
As the episode comes to a close, Maigret reflects on his decision to get involved in the case, and he realizes that even on vacation, he can't escape his passion for justice. Despite the horrors he witnesses and the challenging situations he faces, he knows that his work is important and that he must continue to fight for what is right.
