Four men rob a bank in Saint-Jean-de-Monts. A detective (Delon) tries to catch the team responsible for the lethal bank robbery, foil a drug smuggling operation and hold on to his girlfriend (Deneuve), whom he shares with a nightclub owner (Crenna), his friend and a prime suspect in the robbery. The notoriety and shared knowledge between the players intensifies into the film, similar to a Le Carre adaptation with the protagonists confronting each other at the climax of the story. The short stories and anecdotes that lead viewers to the conclusion, become a melange of real time actions scenes and non verbal interactions that hint at spy mystery, while remaining open to the viewer's interpretation. In one scene, all three protagonists can be seen at a bar, sharing a drink and glancing at each other as strangers, each one coy to reveal his or her real identity. Hence Melville's license to play with characters and plots to leave space for the film genre to shine through.

À Dublin, une jeune femme est retrouvée morte dans le coffre de la voiture de l'ambassadeur suisse Sobierski. Le cadavre est horriblement mutilé : le tueur a brûlé son visage avec de l'acide puis l'a égorgée. L'ancien inspecteur John Norton, viré de la police en raison de ses méthodes brutales, se charge lui-même de l'investigation. Il enquête dans l'entourage de Sobiesky, qui entretenait une relation sexuelle avec la victime, ce que ne facilite pas l'immunité diplomatique et le souci de discrétion du plénipotentiaire. Mais les meurtres s'enchaînent autour du notable et de ses proches. Alors que le tueur en série sévit, Norton rencontre la belle-fille de l'ambassadeur, Helen, avec qui il entame une liaison. Les deux amoureux se lient pour percer au grand jour les secrets de sa famille qui pourraient conduire à la découverte de l'identité du meurtrier.

In Trafic, Hulot is a bumbling automobile designer who works for Altra, a Paris auto plant. He, along with a truck driver and a publicity agent, Maria, takes a new camper-car (designed by Hulot) to an auto show in Amsterdam. On the way there, they encounter various obstacles on the road. Some of the obstacles that Hulot and his companions encounter are getting impounded by Dutch customs guards, a car accident (meticulously choreographed by the filmmakers), and an inefficient mechanic. In the film, “Tati leaves no element of the auto scene unexplored, whether it is the after-battle recovery moments of a traffic-circle chain-reaction accident, whether it a study of drivers in repose or garage-attendants in slow-motion, the gas-station give-away (where the busts of historical figures seem to find their appropriate owners) or the police station bureaucracy.”
