Routier, Jean Viard ne trouve aucune compréhension auprès de sa famille avec laquelle il ne s'entend guère. Il lui est reproché ses longues absences, ses retours souvent retardés, le peu de temps à séjourner chez lui entre deux missions. Avec son fidèle coéquipier Berty, il s'arrête souvent au relais « La Caravane » où il rencontre Clotilde, une petite bonne d'une vingtaine d'années. Lassitude, solitude des deux êtres qui, irrésistiblement attirés l'un vers l'autre, se rapprochent. Un amour solide naît. De multiples contretemps vont empêcher Jean et Clotilde de former un couple durable. Jean perd momentanément son emploi. Clotilde, enceinte, n'osera lui avouer son état et se fera avorter. Elle meurt dans l'ambulance qui l'a prise en charge trop tard, d'une septicémie consécutive à l'avortement réalisé dans la clandestinité quelques jours plus tôt, alors qu'ils avaient enfin décidé de se retrouver et partir refaire leur vie ensemble.

After François Leclercq seduces the young and rich Gilberte Beaumont-Liégard, she introduces him to her family. Through the budding relationship with her in-laws, Leclercq is able to assimilate into the local upper class of his hometown, Cornai. A friend of Gilberte's father, Raphaël Di Massa hires him as manager of his new nightclub, "Number One". The oblivious parvenu Leclercq eventually discovers that "Number One" is actually a cover-up for Raphaël Di Massa's illegal drug trade. Following a dispute between Di Massa and Leclercq, the gun of the latter is stolen and used in the murder of a local football star. An orchestrated miscarriage of justice puts Leclercq in prison, despite his innocence. Seven years later, he returns to Cornai and discovers that it wasn't Di Massa, but Gilberte's father Jean-Baptiste Beaumont-Liégard who ran the drug operation during Leclercq's employment. In an act of retaliation, Leclercq turns Beaumont-Liégard's accomplices against him. As Jean-Baptiste Beaumont-Liégard is executed, Leclercq leaves the city satisfied with his revenge.

In Paris, bloodthirsty jewel thief Roger Sartet (Alain Delon) escapes from custody with the help of the Manalese, a small-time but well-organised Sicilian Mafia clan led by patriarch Vittorio (Jean Gabin) and which includes his sons Aldo (Yves Lefebvre) and Sergio (Marc Porel) and son-in-law Luigi (Philippe Baronnet). While in prison, Sartet got to know an electrician (Christian de Tillière) who was involved in the setting up of an extensive security system at a diamond exhibition in Rome — the electrician returned home early, unannounced, caught his wife in bed with a lover and shot them. Unaccustomed to prison life, he made friends with Sartet and bit-by-bit supplied him with details of the exhibition.

Pendant une conversation téléphonique entre Castagliano et son client, on apprend qu'il a engagé Steiner la veille pour qu'il en sache le moins possible sur ce camion.
