A group of six anarchists calling themselves Nada determine to kidnap the American ambassador to Paris. They lay their plans, unaware that the police maintain discreet surveillance of the deluxe brothel the ambassador visits every week.
In this, the second in a short season of Chabrol films, violence is represented as an expression of individualism, and terrorism justifies repression - or vice versa. Chabrol directed this film noir with masterly irony.
