El diable es va aturar a Orà

Commissioner Ferrandis and Inspector Bensoussan investigate the murders of a series of girls in the Algerian city of Oran in 1954, when it was still "the fifth city of France". Commissioner Ferrandis, a passionate bon vivant of Valencian origin, does not put much distance between his private life and investigations, and this causes him conflicts with the police force and also with his wife Arlette, who is already a type of his emotional messes On the other hand, the alleged murderer is leaving notes to the commissioner -with a sinister sense of humor- about his next actions. When the investigation gets stuck, reinforcements arrive from Paris, but nothing is ever simple in a city like Oran.
