Claire, mariée à Jean, a un amant, Claude. Ce dernier lui offre un manteau en fourrure. Mais, pour Claire, il y a un problème : comment ramener la fourrure au domicile conjugal sans que son mari ne suspecte la liaison. Claude échafaude le stratagème suivant : il va aller déposer le manteau dans une consigne, donner le ticket de consigne à Claire qui feindra de l'avoir trouvé dans un taxi et enverra son mari voir ce qui s'y trouve, et ainsi, ramener lui-même le manteau à la maison. Le plan fonctionne : le mari va à la consigne, ramène une valise, mais à l'intérieur il n'y a plus qu'une peau de lapin. Claire devient alors soupçonneuse.

The film begins with Julie sitting on a park bench reading a book of magic spells when a woman (Céline) walks past, and begins dropping (à la Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit) various possessions. Julie begins picking them up, and tries to follow Céline around Paris, sometimes at a great pace (for instance, sprinting up Montmartre to keep pace with Céline's tram). After adventures following Céline around the Parisian streets — at one point it looks as if they have gone their separate ways, never to meet up again — Céline finally decides to move in with Julie. There are incidents of identity swapping, with Céline pretending to be Julie to meet the latter's childhood sweetheart, for example, and Julie attempting to fill in for Céline at a cabaret audition.
