Marc est un jeune garçon coiffeur passionné par les voitures. Il s'est inscrit à un rallye avec une Porsche 911 S, comptant « emprunter » celle de son patron, mais il découvre que celui-ci a prévu de partir en week-end avec sa voiture le jour de la course. Il tente d'en obtenir une autre en faisant croire à un concessionnaire qu'il est le secrétaire d'un diplomate indien (un de ses amis déguisé en maharadjah) ; puis il essaye de vendre, avec l'aide de Michèle, une jeune fille qu'il a rencontrée en livrant une perruque, divers objets, dont un grand miroir, pour trouver de quoi louer une Porsche. Le duo se laisse ensuite enfermer la nuit au Salon de l'automobile, caché dans un coffre de voiture, pour essayer d'y voler d'autres choses. Marc se rend ensuite à un défilé de maillots de bains pour retrouver une riche cliente d'âge mûr du salon de coiffure qui possède une Porsche. Il commence à se prostituer auprès d'elle (elle pratique sur lui une fellation par surprise) pour qu'elle lui prête sa voiture ou lui donne de l'argent. Il renonce finalement à ce plan quand il voit que Michèle est allée jusqu'à couper ses longs cheveux pour les vendre afin de trouver l'argent nécessaire, mais il est trop tard dans la journée pour trouver un acheteur. Marc tente néanmoins de louer une voiture mais cela lui est refusé car il a moins de 23 ans. Il essaye ensuite de trouver une voiture ouverte dans la rue.

Following a meeting with one of the co-conspirators, Anderson hears music and is shown a tango studio. He is immediately entranced by the dancing and wants to learn more about it, which leads to his meeting with Manuela, a local tango dancer and instructor. Things are not as easy as they seem.
