Paul and Hélène, a wealthy Parisian couple, are preparing to go out for the evening. While driving, they see three men chasing a prostitute down the street. She begs them to save her by letting her into the car, but Paul locks the doors and drives away as the three men savagely beat her, leaving her unconscious in the street. He refuses to let Hélène phone an ambulance, afraid of being charged with not helping a person in danger (which is a crime in France).

François Pignon, an unassuming divorced man with a teenage son who ignores him, lives a quiet and unremarkable life. When he learns he will be fired from his job as an accountant in a rubber factory, he contemplates suicide, but his new neighbor Jean-Pierre Belone, a former industrial psychologist, dissuades him from jumping from his balcony and suggests a way to keep his position. Belone proposes that Pignon start a rumor he is homosexual by inserting his image in sexually provocative snapshots of a gay couple in a bar and anonymously mailing them to his boss, Mr. Kopel. The factory's primary product is condoms, so the gay community's support is essential, and Kopel will have to keep Pignon on the payroll to avoid charges of anti-homosexual bigotry.

Jeanne Kern enseigne l'histoire dans un cours privé mixte. Volontiers provocante, elle n'ignore pas l'effet qu'elle produit sur les hommes. Les lycéens, surtout mademoiselle Zanon qui vient d'arriver dans l'établissement, les collègues et même le directeur, Bruno Ketti, sont sous le charme. Ce dernier éprouve même pour la jeune femme une passion déraisonnée. Un jour, une lettre anonyme, dénonçant les mœurs lesbiennes de Jeanne, parvient sur le bureau de Ketti. Les missives se succèdent, bientôt suivies de photos compromettantes de parties fines, adressées au directeur, aux enseignants et aux parents d'élèves. Sur les clichés, le visage de l'une des jeunes femmes nues a été découpé, et tout laisse penser que l'inconnue n'est autre que Jeanne. Celle-ci se trouve alors au centre de toutes les attentions et doit affronter le scandale. Dans une situation inconfortable, entre les rapprochements insistants de Ketti, les railleries des élèves et les plaintes des parents, elle gagne la sympathie du professeur de mathématiques, Laurent.

One narrative follows Miss Monde 1984/Miss Canada (Carole Laure), who wins a contest of the "most virgin"; her prize is the marriage to a milk industry tycoon (John Vernon). However, following his degrading puritanical introduction to intercourse, she vents her intention to leave to her mother-in-law who, at that point, nearly has her killed. The family bodyguard (Roy Callender) takes her away, further humiliates her, and finally packs her in a trunk bound for Paris. She finds herself on the Eiffel Tower, where she absently meets and has intercourse with a Latin singer, El Macho (Sami Frey). The sexual act is interrupted by touring nuns who frighten the lovers into penis captivus. In her post-coital shocked state, she is adopted into an artist community led by Otto Muehl, where she finds affectionate care. The commune practices some liberating sessions, where a member, with the assistance of the others, goes through a (re)birth experience, cries, urinates and defecates like a baby, while the others are cleaning and pampering him. Later she is seen acting for an obscene advertisement, in which she is naked, covered in liquid chocolate.

Angelo Barberini is the oddball son of Italian immigrants Gino and Maria, who inadvertently ended up in Canada rather than the United States of America. Angelo shocks his parents - and his sister, Anna - by moving out on his own without getting married, and, shortly after that, shocks them further still when he reveals he is gay. But his boyfriend (and childhood best friend), policeman Nino Paventi, isn't as ready to come out of the closet - especially not to his busybody Sicilian mother, Lina.
