The story
After leaving prison, Christopher Joett—nicknamed “Lucky Jo” for the misfortune he brings to those around him—finds that no one wants to join him for another job. His friend Simon is the only one willing to take him in. Now a mechanic in Bougival, Simon lends Jo a Peugeot 404 so he can visit Mimi, his former girlfriend, who sings at a dive in Pigalle. As Jo celebrates their reunion, gangsters steal the car for a robbery, and the police soon identify Simon as its owner.
