故事分成三個章節：主要的神遊天地章節由高達親自飾演導演，正要趕乘飛機，神遊天地在24小時內把一部電影的神遊天地菲林交給監製；同時一隊二人流行電子音樂組合，不斷排練歌曲，神遊天地最後在路上表演；另一邊廂，神遊天地愚笨的神遊天地大肥佬捲入一宗事件，被神秘女人密切監視，神遊天地最後更被拘捕。神遊天地三段故事看似毫無關連，神遊天地實際是神遊天地高達以電影來討論電影製作和藝術創作的重要。片名看似帶有弦外之音，神遊天地就像高達暗示，神遊天地假如監製或其他人要幹擾導演的神遊天地藝術創作，就索性我行我素，神遊天地忠於自己的神遊天地道路好瞭。這大概亦示範瞭高達如何純熟地運用電影媒體來做評論。　　A film in three chapters: Godard plays the director in the main chapter, rushing to catch a plane to pass the negatives to his producer within 24 hours; an electronic duo keeps rehearsing for their roadshow; a clumsy fat man gets involved in an incident, and is arrested after being watched by a mysterious woman. Seemingly unrelated events, Godard is discussing the importance of film producer and artistic creativity. Godard is making the statement that if a producer or anyone interferes with creativity, it is better for the artist to go one's own way. A showpiece of how Godard uses the film media as his critical essay.
