A collection of stories about four objects – an Egyptian statue, a funeral crown, a fur necklace and a violin – which end up in a lost property office. 1) Philippe and Florence meet again after several years apart and remember the love they had and lost.  Both realise that they have spoiled their lives and are proud to admit it.  What remains is an Egyptian statue that Philippe once gave to Florence... 2) Raoul is a policeman who is in love with Solange, a widow with a son who plays the violin.  He believes that she likes him too but she falls for the charms of a street singer.... 3) Gérard is dangerously insane and his family decide to have him committed to an asylum.  But he manages to escape and he later strangles Danièle with her fur necklace... 4) Jean-Pierre and Suzy are lovers.  The former has grown tired of his all too jealous girlfriend and wants to leave her.  The only solution Jean-Pierre can come up with is for him to pretend to be dead.  The funeral crown has never been used since...
