After working diligently for the company for fifteen years, Henry (played by Jean-Pierre Léaud) suffers the tragic fate of being fired. Filled with resentment, he encounters setbacks in life and, in despair, considers suicide. However, no matter what method he tries, he cannot manage to end his life. At this moment, he sees an advertisement in the newspaper for a small bar frequented by gangsters and hitmen, and he decides to give it a try. Henry hires a hitman (Kenneth Colley) to end his life, but afterward, he unexpectedly meets a beautiful flower seller named Marguerite (Margi Clarke), and the two quickly spark a romance. Life gains meaning again, and Henry no longer wants to die. However, he cannot find the hitman who originally signed the contract with him, which means that from this moment on, he is at risk of being assassinated at any time.
