Summary
In a luxury Paris hotel, two detectives are working on the vexing case of an assassinated prince. In a nearby room, boxing trainer Jim Fox Warner is getting his young protege ready for a fight. But Jim owes big money to the mob, as well as to the Chenals, a bickering husband, and wife. In Godard's fractured, poetic style, the tension ratchets up between these groups until they reach a bloody breaking point.
