Flic Story follows a nine-year pursuit of Emile Buisson through France during the 1940s and 1950s, and illustrates the pursuit as a battle of intellect, focusing on a growing rapport between Buisson and the protagonist Borniche. Deray's humanizing of the characters was a trait used in his other films, and was a popular counter-cliché concept in France during the 1970s.

Un professeur d'université, Alexandre Lenski, est arrêté par la police soviétique parce qu'il est chrétien. Son interrogatoire porte d'abord sur des accusations de prosélytisme, dont il se défend habilement. Petit à petit, la pression monte et les soutiens sur lesquels il aurait pu s'appuyer lui font défaut l'un après l'autre. Il en est de même pour tous jusqu'aux gens d'Église (Père Serge et Frère Jean) qui sont du côté des interrogateurs. À la fin, le professeur se met à genoux et récite son Credo devant ses tortionnaires, avant d'être emmené en hôpital psychiatrique.

Jean-Paul, a writer and Marianne, his girlfriend of just over two years, are holidaying at a friend's villa. There is a tension in their relationship which excites Marianne: the film begins with a scene in which they are together beside the villa's swimming pool and she urges him to claw her back. He does as she asks, but then throws her into the pool and jumps in after her. In a later scene he takes a branch and uses it to lash her bare buttocks, playfully but with a force that increases as the scene cuts away.
