After stealing a car, Michel shoots a policeman who has followed him onto a country road. Penniless and on the run from the police, he turns to his [[United States|American]] girlfriend Patricia ([[Jean Seberg]]), a student and aspiring journalist, who sells the ''[[New York Herald Tribune]]'' on the streets of Paris. The ambivalent Patricia unwittingly hides him while they dally in her apartment as he simultaneously tries to seduce her and call in a loan to fund their escape to [[Italy]]. At one point, Patricia says she is pregnant with Michel's child. She learns that Michel is on the run when questioned by the police. Eventually, she betrays him, but before the police arrive, she tells Michel what she did. He is somewhat resigned to a life in prison, and doesn't try to escape at first. They shoot him in the street and, after a protracted death run, he dies. | + | |
