Manuela, a young Spaniard, arrives in a convent. She wishes to speak to the superior mother, who seems to conceal a heavy secret. Shortly after, the young woman died, fallen from the window of her hotel room. Captain Marleau goes down to her hotel to investigate better: she considers the theses of the accident or suicide unreliable. She goes first to another client, a newly arrived priest, Father Vincent. He says he does not know the victim, whose identity is unknown. While searching the young woman's business, she finds a Bible and a bookmark that leads her to the convent. Mother Louise acknowledges having lodged Manuela for a few weeks but claims not to know her exact identity. The gendarmes discover that the gardener of the convent, Jean, has a criminal past. Marleau interrogates him, but he asserts that at the hour of death he was delivering elsewhere in the city. Marleau decided to settle in the convent, where she could observe the nuns. Sister Maryse never ceases to follow the mother superior and to do everything for her, which annoys Sister Celestine, who sees there an interested zeal. Marleau suspected that the gardener had taken one of the nuns to town. She discovers that Manuela was carrying a pregnant child for others. She was related to a former Spanish murderer who had just been assassinated. Mother Louise in her youth was one of her friends. She ended by telling her story to Marleau: convinced that she was the cause of the death of a man, she had gone to France, where she took refuge in a convent and took the veil. But she denies wanting to kill Manuela. When Marleau returns to the convent, Maryse has shut herself up with the superior mother: it was out of love for her that she defended Manuela, to protect her from possible blackmail.
