Costello's methodical modus operandi includes ironclad alibis involving his lover, Jane (Nathalie Delon). Having carried out a contract on a nightclub owner, he is seen leaving the scene by several witnesses, including piano player Valérie (Cathy Rosier). Their statements are inconsistent but the investigating officer (François Périer) believes Costello is his man. Costello loses a police tail and gets to a meeting point on a subway overpass where instead of getting paid, he is shot and wounded by a man sent by his employers. Having bandaged his wound and rested, he returns to the nightclub and somehow bonds with the piano player. In the meantime, police officers bug his room, which agitates the bird in its cage. Upon returning, Costello notices some loose feathers scattered around the cage. Suspecting an intrusion, he searches his room, finds the bug and deactivates it.In the meantime, the police ransack Jane's apartment and offer her a deal: withdraw your alibi for Jef and we will leave you alone. Jane rejects the offer and shows them the door.
