The feature-film debut of Louis Malle is considered by some critics to be the first work of the French New Wave. It is a stylish policier accompanied with the moody jazz of Miles Davis.

Florence Carala and her lover Julien Tavernier, an ex-paratrooper want to murder her husband by faking a suicide. But after Julien has killed him, he finds he has forgotten the rope outside the window and he returns to the building to remove it.  Unexpectedly Julien is kept a prisoner in the elevator. Then, while Florence waits for him on a café terrace, the encounter with a young and naive couple, Louis and Véronique, who steal Julien's car hastens the Julien's fall.

During the night Julien tries to get out of his prison, Florence is looking for him all over Paris, and finally Louis and Véronique are becoming entangled in a confusing murder.

这是路易·马勒的第一部故事片，被某些评论家认为是法国新浪潮的首部作品。它是一部流行犯罪片，Miles Davis抑郁的爵士乐也贯穿期间。

Florence Carala的情人Julien Tavernier是一个退伍伞兵，他们想谋杀Florence的丈夫并伪装成他自杀的样子。但当Julien将他杀害后，忽然发现自己把绳子忘在了窗外，就返回去取。结果Julien意外地被关在了电梯里。而Florence在咖啡馆的露台上等他，却遇到了年轻幼稚的情侣Louis和Véronique，他们偷了Julien的汽车。这次相遇却加速了Julien的灭亡。

在这个夜晚，Julien仍在努力着从电梯里逃出来，Florence在巴黎大街上到处找他，而最后，Louis和Véronique卷入了一起令人困惑的凶杀案。
