Summary
Bastien and Furet are a journalist and photographer who work together
as a team on the newspaper L’Echo du
jour. Just as they are about to go off on a weekend break with
Micky, their boss’s secretary, they are sent to a crime scene to report
the murder of a Russian named Le Moujik. Here, one thing
intrigues them. The dead man has a beard and long untidy hair,
but his hands and feet are in immaculate condition. As Bastien,
Furet and Micky set off on their weekend trip to the Montmorency
forest, they are caught in a thunderstorm and have to take shelter in
an isolated house, La ferme aux loups.
In one of the rooms, they are surprised to find the body of a man who
was killed in exactly the same way as Le Moujik. When Micky
recognises a woman in a portrait, a Russian servant suddenly locks them
up in the cellar. Having made their escape, Bastien and Furet
return to their offices and offer to write a sensational report.
However, their boss is more interested in what Micky has to say...
