During World War II, a woman aboard a railroad car full of deportees slips French railway worker Julien a note with an address and a simple message: "I am alive, and I love you," and he decides to track down the intended recipients. When he finds the woman's Jewish family, he is inspired to do what he can to protect them from the Nazi atrocities.
The story (based on a novel by James Hadley Chase) concerns the efforts of the genial and deceptively tentative Lepski (Michael Brandon), an insurance company detective, to track down a valuable medieval Russian icon, which was stolen by Bradley (David Carradine), a master thief.
Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, na França ocupada, uma mulher de baixa escolaridade cria seus dois filhos em um apartamento cheio de ratos. Ela é Marie Latour. Em 1941, seu marido retorna da Frente, fraco demais para manter um emprego. Depois de um episódio envolvendo sua vizinha, Marie descobre que pode fazer abortos clandestinos para sustentar sua família.
Ten years after the French political upheavals of 1968, a maturing "soixante-huitard" falls in with some young radicals who are influenced by a book he had written. But does he still have the guts to translate his ideas into acts against the state? And is he still attractive to younger chicks?
A man learns one night that he can walk through walls, and uses this skill to get back at a nasty new boss, to rob banks, and to romance an overly protected lady.
