The Little Murders of Agatha Christie

1939: Simon Le Tescou is a cruel and tyrannical man. For his 70 years, this rich Breton businessman, decided to reunite his whole family. Edward, his eldest son, who lives at the castle with his wife Edith and dares not stand up to his father. Antonin, the youngest, a deputy on the verge of ruin, whose new fiancée, Madeleine, unexpectedly invites herself. Victor, the youngest, an Olympic champion who accepted Simon's invitation for the sole purpose of settling accounts with his father, whom he has not seen for years. Inès, his granddaughter from Spain, whom everyone did not know existed. And a friend of the family, Eloi, a young African doctor whose research is funded by Simon. But on the night of his birthday, while he refused to feast with his guests, Simon Le Tescou is savagely murdered in his double-locked room.

Commissioner Larosière, a brilliant criminologist, and a young novice inspector, Emile Lampion, are in charge of the investigation. Under the fire of questions from Larosière, each other's alibis fall one by one and the police arrive at the conclusion that all could have killed Simon Le Tescou. While Edith and Victor fall back into each other's arms as in their youth, Louise tells Antonin, her lover, that she is carrying her child. He is overjoyed but Madeleine, who overheard their conversation, does not hear it that way.

Following her fall, Louise lost her baby; as for Madame Dupré, who narrowly escaped death, she remains paralyzed and mute. Larosière and Emile decide to settle in the castle to set a trap for the murderer. The night of the ambush, Alix narrowly escapes an assassination attempt...

Despite Eloi's efforts, Edouard succumbs to his injuries. Meanwhile, Commissioner Larosière, who is recovering from his injury in hospital, summons Inès. He is determined to make him confess the murders of Simon Le Tescou and Madame Dupré.
