Dans le convoi d'un Trans-Europ-Express qui roule entre Paris et Anvers, une équipe de cinéma imagine le scénario d'un film. Un jeune homme aux pulsions sexuelles exacerbées doit prendre livraison d'une valise contenant de la drogue. Très vite, scénario et réalité ne font plus qu'un, ce que le style de la réalisation exprime par des allers et retours entre séquences, les unes en reprenant d'autres avec des variantes de l'action qui expriment les version variables imaginées par l'auteur du scénario, Alain Robbe-Grillet, et cela dans le décor même du train.

While scuba-diving near shipwrecks off Bermuda, vacationing couple David Sanders (Nick Nolte) and Gail Berke (Jacqueline Bisset) recover a number of artifacts, including an ampoule of amber-colored liquid and a medallion bearing the image of a woman and the letters "S.C.O.P.N." (meaning "Santa Clara, ora pro nobis" or "Saint Clara, pray for us") and a date, 1714. Sanders and Berke seek the advice of lighthouse-keeper and treasure-hunter Romer Treece (Robert Shaw) on the origin of the medallion, who identifies the item as Spanish and takes an interest in the young couple. The ampoule is noticed by the man who had rented diving equipment to Sanders and Berke, which in turn attracts the attention of Henri Cloche (Louis Gossett, Jr.), a local drug kingpin for whom the shop owner works, who unsuccessfully tries to buy the ampoule and then begins to terrorize the couple with Haitian black magic. The ampoule contains medicinal morphine from the Goliath, a ship that sank during World War II with a cargo of munitions and medical supplies. The wreck of the Goliath is considered dangerous and is posted as off-limits to divers due to the danger of explosions. Treece concludes that a recent storm has exposed her cargo of morphine and unearthed a much older wreck containing Spanish treasure.
