Chark, un aventurier européen, arrive dans une bourgade d’un pays imaginaire d'Amérique latine, situé près de la frontière avec le Brésil, et où sont exploités des gisements de diamants. À ce moment, une révolte se prépare. Les prospecteurs de diamants, spoliés par l’État et dépouillés de leurs biens par le capitaine Ferrero, un despote corrompu, se préparent à attaquer la garnison gouvernementale. Chark, accusé de vol, est conduit à la garnison et incarcéré, mais il parvient à s’évader. Les prospecteurs attaquent la garnison mais l’armée envoie des renforts et l'attaque échoue. Les rebelles doivent fuir. Chark se joint à certains d’entre eux : Castin, un vieux prospecteur français que les diamants ont enrichi ; Maria, sa fille sourde-muette ; Djin, une prostituée que Castin voudrait épouser ; le père Lizardi, un prêtre missionnaire. Pour ce faire, ils s’emparent du bateau d’un trafiquant à la solde des militaires qui les trahira rapidement. Les fugitifs doivent abandonner le bateau et partir à pied dans une jungle touffue. Dans cet environnement hostile, les fugitifs ne savent pas exactement où aller. Ils ont l'intention de rejoindre le Brésil, mais leur situation devient de plus en plus désespérée. Alors qu’ils sont perdus, Chark part en éclaireur et découvre, au bord d’un lac situé à la frontière du Brésil, les restes d'un avion qui s’est écrasé en forêt récemment. Mais Castin est devenu fou ; il tue la prostituée puis le père Lizardi avant que Chark le tue à son tour. Chark et Maria essaient de gagner le Brésil dans un canot pneumatique.

The film consists of several thematically linked scenes: five gatherings of a group of bourgeois friends, and the four dreams of different characters. The beginning of the film focuses on the gatherings, while the latter part focuses on the dreams, but both types of scenes are intertwined. There are also scenes involving other characters, such as two involving a Latin American female terrorist from the fictitious Republic of Miranda. The film's world is not logical: the bizarre events are accepted by the characters, even if they are impossible or contradictory.

A stylish, attractive young woman, Célestine (Jeanne Moreau), arrives from Paris to become chambermaid for an odd family at their country chateau. The period is mid-1930s, and the populace is astir with extremist politics, right and left. The Monteil's household consists of a childless couple, the frigid wife's elderly, genteel father, and several servants, including Joseph the groom (Georges Géret) who's a rightist, nationalist, anti-Semitic, violent man. The wife (Françoise Lugagne) runs a rigidly tidy house; she would like to please her virile husband physically, but cannot, due to pelvic "pain." M. Monteil (Michel Piccoli) amuses himself by hunting small game and pursuing all the females within range – the previous chambermaid seems to have left pregnant and had to be "bought off.

Gerardo (Jorge Negrete) and his friend Demetrio (Julio Villarreal) are a pair of footloose cowboys in turn-of-the-century Mexico who are in prison on dubious charges. As Gerardo sings and strums on his guitar, Demetrio saws the bars of their cell, enabling them to escape. They come upon a small oil field operated by José Enrique (Francisco Jambrina), an entrepreneur from Argentina who is refusing to sell out to evil oil barons who threaten the workers. Gerardo persuades José to give work to him and his friends, and after he and Demetrio recruit more workers, they're able to rejuvenate the struggling operation. Just as their fortunes are on the rise, however, the oilman disappears and is feared murdered. Demetrio takes over the operation next, but, again, the night before the oil is to start pumping, he goes to the casino and falls for Camelia (Mercedes Barba), the same girl José was last seen with before he vanished, and he too disappears.
