故事分成三個章節：主要的章節由高達親自飾演導演，正要趕乘飛機，在24小時內把一部電影的菲林交給監製；同時一隊二人流行電子音樂組合，不斷排練歌曲，最後在路上表演；另一邊廂，愚笨的大肥佬捲入一宗事件，被神秘女人密切監視，最後更被拘捕。三段故事看似毫無關連，實際是高達以電影來討論電影製作和藝術創作的重要。片名看似帶有弦外之音，就像高達暗示，假如監製或其他人要干擾導演的藝術創作，就索性我行我素，忠於自己的道路好了。這大约亦示範了高達如何純熟地運用電影媒體來做評論爱情就像一场赌博，赌注是青春，筹码是幸福。
　　A film in three chapters: Godard plays the director in the main chapter, rushing to catch a plane to pass the negatives to his producer within 24 hours; an electronic duo keeps rehearsing for their roadshow; a clumsy fat man gets involved in an incident, and is arrested after being watched by a mysterious woman. Seemingly unrelated events, Godard is discussing the importance of film producer and artistic creativity. Godard is making the statement that if a producer or anyone interferes with creativity, it is better for the artist to go one's own way. A showpiece of how Godard uses the film media as his critical essay.
