故事分成三个章节：主要的章节由高达亲自饰演导演，正要赶乘飞机，在24小时内把一部电影的菲林交给监制；同时一队二人流行电子音乐组合，不断排练歌曲，最后在路上表演；另一边厢，愚笨的大肥佬捲入一宗事件，被神秘女人密切监视，最后更被拘捕。三段故事看似毫无关连，实际是高达以电影来讨论电影制作和艺术创作的重要。片名看似带有弦外之音，就像高达暗示，假如监制或其他人要干扰导演的艺术创作，就索性我行我素，忠于自己的道路好了。这大概亦示范了高达如何纯熟地运用电影媒体来做评论。 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.
