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.
