The film was released on October 25, 1967 and had more than 1.9 million admissions in France. It received positive reviews, particularly for the screenplay and Melville's atmospheric direction, as well as Delon's performance.
Jef Costello, a deadpan hitman, lives in a one-room Parisian apartment and keeps a small caged bird as a pet. His methodical modus operandi consists of creating concrete alibis, including those provided by his lover, Jane. After killing Martey, the owner of a nightclub, Jef is very clearly seen leaving the premises by Valérie, the club's pianist, and seen by several other witnesses. The police bring in numerous suspects, including Jef, for an identification session, but the witnesses cannot agree on an identification.
Jef is released, but the commissioner has an intuition that he is the culprit and has him followed. He loses the spinning and goes to collect his fee for the hit, but instead of paying him, the man he meets tries to kill him, shooting him in the arm, and Jef realizes that his unknown employers now considered a liability because he is suspected of Martey's murder. After treating his injury, Jef returns to the nightclub. While he is gone, two police officers break into his room, agitating the bird in its cage.
After the nightclub closes, Jef asks Valérie to take him home, arguing that she told the police he was not the killer because her employer asked her to. He asks her to tell him who hired him, and she tells him to call her in two hours. Meanwhile, the police search Jane's apartment, saying they will leave her alone if she withdraws her alibi for Jef, but she flatly rejects the offer.
Back at his apartment, Jef notices feathers scattered in his bird's cage, as if it had become agitated during his absence. Suspecting an intrusion, he finds the tracker and deactivates it, then goes to a public telephone to call Valérie, who does not answer. Back home, he is ambushed by the man who shot him. At gunpoint, the man offers a fresh start and pays Jef for Martey's contract, as well as another to come. Jef overpowers the man and forces him to reveal the identity of his boss, Olivier Rey, before asking about the new contract.
Dozens of plainclothes police try to tail Jef in the metro, but he manages to outrun them. He visits Jane and assures her that everything will work out, then drives to Rey's house, where Valerie lives, who is not home at the time. Jef kills Rey and returns to the nightclub, making no attempt to hide his presence. He checks his hat, but leaves his verification ticket on the counter, and puts on the white gloves he wears to perform his shots, in full view, before approaching the stage where Valérie is performing. She calmly advises him to leave, but he pulls out a gun and points it at her. Strangely fearlessly, she asks him why he is doing this and he tells her that he was paid to do it. Suddenly, Jef is shot four times by police officers who were waiting for him. When the commissioner inspects Jef's weapon, he notices that it does not contain any bullets.
