Danielle et Jean Reynaud ont les apparences d'un couple de grands bourgeois parisiens : il est industriel; riche et accumule les conquêtes car sa femme se refuse à lui. Dans l'appartement au-dessus de chez eux emménage Nicole qui sort d'une relation très difficile avec Klaus. Jean l'attire dans ses bras mais tombe profondément amoureux d'elle. Elle le prévient néanmoins que Klaus cherche à le tuer, à la demande d'un inconnu. Après un échec sur la Riviera, Klaus fait venir Jean dans l'appartement de Nicole et au cours d'une lutte, finit par le poignarder. Il n'a fait qu'exécuter la demande des deux femmes, complices. Le meurtre est maquillé en incendie de la voiture de Jean, dans laquelle la police ne retrouve donc qu'un corps carbonisé. Cependant, Danielle éprouve visions et remords de la disparition de son mari, et finit par être persuadée que Jean n'est pas mort et est complice de Nicole. Alors qu'elle est au téléphone, elle sent sa présence dans l'appartement et meurt d'un coup de feu en prononçant son nom. Sur la déposition de Nicole, la police accepte avec réticence l'hypothèse du suicide, alors que c'est Klaus qui a tiré le coup de feu fatal. Lui et Nicole, qui a hérité de la fortune de Jean, s'envolent pour l'Amérique du Sud. Mais le commissaire est dans l'avion.

Married couple Anna (Gina Lollobrigida) and Marco (Jean-Louis Trintignant) run a hi-tech automated poultry farm, breeding boneless chickens. Unbeknownst to Anna, Marco is a serial killer, who lures prostitutes to motel rooms before stabbing them. The arrival of Anna's cousin Gabri (Ewa Aulin) further fragments the troubled marriage, as she and Marco begin an affair and conspire to run away together. However, Gabri is actually planning, with her husband Mondaini (Jean Sobieski), to kill Anna and frame Marco, as they have discovered Marco's secret. What Gabri and Mondaini do not know is that Marco's fixation is not with killing prostitutes, but simply hiring them to role-play murders, letting them go safely and handsomely paid. As such, when Anna's murder is discovered, the police focus their attention on Gabri, suspecting her of committing the murder out of sibling jealousy. Marco and Mondaini struggle at the farm, Marco falling into a machine used to grind chicken feed. Gabri and Mondaini are eventually arrested for Anna's murder, as the farm chickens feed on Marco's ground corpse.

Lester Dwervick (Tim Young) has always been sort of different. The sickly teen is too shy to make friends, and lives in a trailer park. Because of these reasons, his classmates and teacher view him as a "white trash outcast". To make matters worse, Lester's mother is an alcoholic tramp who often brings home drunken men from the local bars. Lester has nobody to confide in, and often draws and sculpts birds and other animals to keep him hopeful of the future. One day, he is being savagely tormented by a local bully when Sheriff Patterson's (Richard Elfman) daughter Judie (Tiffany Shepis) sticks up for him. Thinking he has finally found a friend, Lester begins to feel happy for the first time in years and begins to draw pictures for her. One night, Lester goes to find Judie to ask her if she wants to be his girlfriend. Before he even has a chance to ask her, he sees his worst bully drunkenly kiss her. Judie sees Lester, who is running away in grief. Knowing there's nothing left for him anymore, the pressure of it all finally mounts and Lester swirls into a jealous rage and screams at his mother's latest boyfriend. He chases Lester into the cornfields outside his home and viciously strangles him to death then hangs him, making it look like a suicide, leaving his corpse near a scarecrow.
