Louis Bourdin, un humble poinçonneur de métro à la RATP, vantard mais peureux, travaille à la station Quai de la Rapée. Il est tellement fanatique de romans policiers qu'il en écrit un lui-même. Il prend le pseudonyme de Lenormand, et intitule son roman « Rapt à la RATP » : l'histoire imaginaire du hold-up de la rame des finances, qui collecte quotidiennement la recette des stations à la fin de service, vol qu'il décrit avec un luxe de détails. Il le propose à plusieurs éditeurs. Ceux-ci le dédaignant, il en fera bénéficier, bien imprudemment, une tout autre profession ... reconnaissante, mais dangereuse !

Max plans to encourage them to commit something big and catch them on the spot. Posing as a client, he meets Lily (Romy Schneider), a young German-born prostitute who is the companion of Abel. He pretends to be the director of a small bank branch which receives significant amounts of money at regular intervals. He ensures the support of his police commissioner. Max fails however to reveal his role as instigator. Gradually, some feeling arises between Max and Lily. But Max keeps a reserved attitude and merely influences the scrap through her. Finally, guessing the band ready for action, he communicates an ideal date to commit robbery. On the scheduled day, the police await them and they are arrested. Later in the police station, Rosinsky (the top cop in the bank's district) reveals to Max that he wants all collaborators brought to justice, including Lily.
