Film Synopsis

Whilst swimming at a holiday resort on the Atlantic coast, the young and sensual Marie is horrified to discover a corpse washed up on the beach.  The dead man is identified as a local dentist who was apparently killed by a bullet in the head.  Inspector Molinat takes charge of the investigation and has no shortage of suspects, including Marie herself.  The plot thickens when a second body is discovered, and then a third.  This is turning out to be a very murderous summer...
