In a film-within-the-film, the Frenchman Elias takes his first consignment of cocaine from Paris to Antwerp aboard the Trans Europ Express. There, he is passed from one mysterious intermediary to another, and with some time to spare, enacts a troubling rape fantasy with a prostitute named Eva Eva. Eventually, he reaches his top contact, who reveals that his cargo was powdered sugar, and the whole exercise was a test of his loyalty.

Told that his next assignment will be to take a shipment back to Paris, he looks up Eva for another session and discovers that she has betrayed him to the police. Initiating a bondage fantasy, he strangles her and immediately goes into hiding. Slipping out to buy a newspaper, he sees a report of the murder above an advertisement for a strip club where the star performer in a bondage fantasy resembles Eva. On arriving there, he is surrounded by police, but before they can arrest him, he is shot dead by his contact.

When the characters in the frame story return to Paris and buy a newspaper, Elias and Eva are seen embracing.
