명차 노란 롤스로이스(The Yellow Rolls-Royce) 자동차가 여러 주인의 손을 거치면서 유럽을 전전하는 과정을 그린 영화.

One Rolls-Royce belongs to three vastly different owners, starting with Lord Charles, who buys the car for his wife as an anniversary present. Another owner is Paolo Maltese, a mafioso who purchases the car during a trip to Italy and leaves it with his girlfriend while he returns to Chicago. Later, the car is owned by American widow Gerda, who joins the Yugoslavian resistance against the invading Nazis.
