Milan (Hallyday) arrives in a small town by train at the start of the week. The hotel is closed, but he finds accommodation via a chance meeting with a retired French teacher, Manesquier (Rochefort). The film tells the story of the developing relationship between these apparent opposites, though looming in the background are two unavoidable events that each is expecting to take place on the Saturday - Manesquier is to undergo a major operation, and Milan (though he keeps this secret at first) is to lead a bank robbery. Manesquier soon realises Milan's intentions, but this does not prevent a growing mutual respect, with each envying the other's lifestyle.

Le commissaire Pichard et l'inspecteur Charbonnier mènent une enquête extravagante sur un crime commis sans mobile apparent. Un poinçonneur d'autobus est retrouvé mort dans ses wc, victime d'un assassinat. Détail surprenant : le verrou était fermé de l'intérieur. S'ensuit une enquête pour le moins loufoque, dans laquelle les deux policiers se lancent sur des pistes improbables, avant que le commissaire Pichard ne parvienne finalement à faire la lumière sur cette affaire.

Hélène Duvernet (Jane Birkin), propriétaire d'une galerie d'art, est interrogée par les inspecteurs Pelissier (Jacques Villeret) et Leroux (Michel Blanc) pour une affaire de routine. Mais Leroux se prend de passion pour Hélène, et il commence à prendre n'importe quel prétexte pour lui parler et la surveiller. Il entre chez elle à l'improviste plusieurs fois, la prend en filature, et vole même sa voiture pour qu'elle aille au commissariat. Il se montre exceptionnellement collant et inquisiteur, sans se laisser démonter par les piques comiques et les rebuffades cinglantes d'Hélène.
