A bullet in the eye ends the life of the postmistress of a small French village. Because she pried into their secrets, everyone hated her. Everyone was glad she was dead. A man is accused - wrongfully. His life is at stake. In the end his main crime seems to be that he is from Paris, and villagers hang together against outsiders. When Maigret investigates he finds only hostility, shifty answers and lies.
