Paul Frapier is a reporter whose only preoccupations are his work, his car and girls. He is more or less in love with a cover-girl Vera but doesn’t want any commitment. One day, he is called to the scene of the murder of a policeman. The killer is known as Laurent Porte and he is on the run. In fact, Paul has known Laurent since they were soldiers during the war in Algeria. Laurent saved Paul’s life and they became friends but lost contact.
