One Saturday night, Pierrot finally manages to get his mother's permission to go out and join his friends.  Leaving his immaculate housing estate in the suburbs of Paris, he hastens to join his mates for the one night of the week when he can let his hair down.  Among his plans for the evening are terrorising pedestrians and zipping between cars on his scooter.  The night will prove to be more eventful than Pierrot could ever have imagined...
