The story

Nestor Patou, an honest policeman, has been transferred from the Bois de Boulogne to Les Halles, a more urban neighborhood in Paris. He finds a street full of prostitutes working at the Hotel Casanova and raids the place, arresting the prostitutes and catching his police department's chief at the same time (while not knowing him). The inspector fires Nestor, who is mistakenly framed for bribery and for insubordination.
