War criminals, escaped from Germany, joining the network in Morocco where, before going to South America they change their facial structure. Marchelier pretends to be one of them. Marchelier can therefore collect within the network the most valuable information, especially as he became the lover of Eva. But Herbert, deputy chief Nazi, gradually feeds suspicions. Betrayed by a double agent, Marchelier is unmasked. Thanks to the intervention of his leaders and the Moroccan police, Marchelier is rescued. Herbert was shot, as Philippe. The man with The Bandaged face is none other than Hitler himself.
The action takes place under the Restoration, at the Château de Savigny, near Nerville, a devout and prudish little town in the Cotentin region. Doctor Torty is the doctor. He tells a story of which he is the only one to know the secret, that of a criminal couple, without any remorse. The pretty Hauteclaire Stassin, daughter of the master of arms, meets the Count of Savigny, married to the noble and languid Delphine. Madly in love with the count, Hauteclaire joined the castle as a servant. Shortly after, the countess died of poisoning. Will the guilty lovers go unpunished?
