In this new opus of the Carnets filmés we find his pronounced taste for travel (West Berlin, Marseille, the Pyrenees, the Southern Alps) and his life devoted to filming (the feature films Coeur bleu, Vivre est une solution, Spoonful, La Neige tremblait sur les arbres). Also noteworthy in 1980 was the appearance of a ceremony that would be filmed every year: the re-enactment by the villagers of Burzet, in the Ardèche, of the Passion of Christ.

Paris, 1910. Emile, a shy movie projectionist, and Raoul, a colourful inventor, find themselves embarked on the hunt for a monster terrorizing citizens. They join forces with Lucille, the big-hearted star of the Bird of Paradise cabaret, an eccentric scientist and his irascible monkey to save the monster, who turns out to be an oversized but harmless flea, from the city's ruthlessly ambitious police chief.

When Marie St. Clair believes she has been jilted by her artist fiance Jean, she decides to leave for Paris on her own. After spending a year in the city as a mistress of the wealthy Pierre Revel, she is reunited with Jean by chance. This leaves her with the choice between a glamorous life in Paris, and the true love she left behind.
