影片的第一个镜头是几个充气的气囊；接着是穿着短裙的芭蕾舞女演员，然后是歌剧院广场的前景和拳击手挥舞剧院的动作。歌剧院广场，一个达达派艺术家在沉思，要烧掉歌剧院。于是，火柴划着了。拳击手挥起双拳再一次向大歌剧院打去。庙宇的立柱。在高楼的平顶上，达达派艺术家曼·雷伊和画家杜尚正在下棋。突然，喷射而来的水搅乱了棋局。女舞蹈演员的舞步。女人的脸和水母的眼。一颗鸟蛋在喷泉吐出的水柱中蹦跳。芭蕾舞团的主要演员扮成罗尔猎人出现在屋顶上。他瞄准鸟蛋。蛋仿佛在水柱中起舞。开枪。蛋壳破裂。一只白鸽破壳而出。达达派画家端着猎枪。瞄准、射击，猎人应声跌落。一辆由骆驼拖曳的灵车载着死者的棺木，缓缓驶在巴黎的郊区大路上。灵柩上放着饼干花环，送葬者挂着哀恸的神情。灵车越走越快，终于狂奔起来。跟在车后的绅士、太太们疯狂追赶。最后，灵车撞到墙上，棺木掀翻，死者穿着魔术师的装束，从棺木里爬出。他挥动魔杖。追来的人群立即消失，他又点了一下自己的胸口，他也倏忽同隐去。

Robert Desnos 的诗

Two people stand on a road, out of focus. Seen distorted through a glass, they retire upstairs to a bedroom where she undresses. He says, "Adieu." Images: the beautiful girl, a starfish in a jar, city scenes, newspapers, tugboats. More images: starfish, the girl. "How beautiful she is." Repeatedly. He advances up the stair, knife in hand, starfish on the step. Three people stand on a road, out of focus. "How beautiful she was." "How beautiful she is." "Beautiful."

A long series of unrelated images, revolving, often distorted: lights, flowers, nails. A lightboard appears from time to time carrying the news of the day. Then, an eye. A woman in a car drives along country roads. Farm animals. She descends from the car, again and again. Images: dancing legs, seashore, swimming fish, geometric shapes, cut glass. A man removes his starched collar. It rotates. A girl has garishly painted eyes. No, she's only fooling. Those were her eyelids.

Experimental film, white specks and shapes gyrating over a black background, a light-striped torso, a gyrating eggcrate. One of the first Dadaist films.
