Ann Bishop Mullany lives in Baton Rouge. She is unhappily married to John, a successful lawyer, and has never experienced an orgasm. She is seeing a counselor for her problems. Graham Dalton is an old college friend of John. He is now a seeming drifter who, after nine years, returns to live in Baton Rouge. Graham arrives to find Ann, who has no idea that John has invited Graham to stay with them until he finds an apartment. When John arrives home, Graham's demeanor becomes remarkably more guarded, due in large part to John's overt disapproval of Graham's bohemian persona. They also discuss the fact that Graham's college girlfriend, Elizabeth, is also living in Baton Rouge.

Quatre jeunes ouvriers lassés de leurs conditions décident de devenir gangsters. Jean-Pierre, le leader de la bande les prévient que ce métier ne s'improvise pas et qu'il faut donc l'apprendre. Ils créent donc ensemble la première école de gangstérisme où ils seront à la fois élèves et instructeurs. Martine, une jeune femme sourde et muette, peintre de trottoir se joindra au groupe. L'entrainement va comprendre une mise en condition physique (plus d'alcool ni te tabac) une endurance au souffle et aux coups, la pratique des sports de combats, le maniement des armes, l'apprentissage du poker, etc. Ils se font la main en commettant des "petits coups" puis montent en puissance avec des vols qui font la une des journaux. Ils essuient aussi quelques échecs, comme la tentative de kidnapping du chien d'une prostituée ou l'intimidation d'une bande rivale. Leur dernier coup, l'enlèvement contre rançon d'une vedette de cinéma tourne mal, l'un des membres de la bande paniquant en apercevant un policier sur le lieu de l'échange et mitraillant plusieurs personnes. Désorientés les quatre hommes se réfugient dans une ancienne carrière et se demandent comment gérer la suite des événements et finissent par s’entre-tuer, seule survivra Martine qui retournera dessiner sur les trottoirs.

L'Audience suit le parcours d’un jeune homme catholique, Amedeo (Enzo Janacci), qui a quitté sa ville natale, dans le nord de l’Italie, pour venir à Rome, avec une idée fixe : obtenir une audience privée du pape Paul VI à qui il a des révélations très importantes à faire. La détermination d’Amedeo est telle qu’elle apparaît suspecte aux autorités du Vatican. Puisqu’il ne veut pas renoncer à son audience, on le fait surveiller par un policier, Aureliano Diaz (Ugo Tognazzi). Puis on le met entre les mains d’une prostituée, Aïché (Claudia Cardinale), censée lui tirer les vers du nez, mais qui s’attache à lui et entreprend de l’aider dans ses démarches. Elle le met en rapport avec un politicien d’extrême droite, le prince Donati (Vittorio Gassman), qui le recommande à Monseigneur Amerin (Michel Piccoli), un prêtre moderne. Mais c’est à un père Jésuite (Alain Cuny), rencontré au cours d’un dîner, qu’Amedeo dira, en secret, son message au Pape : le prêtre paraît bouleversé par son contenu.
