Three stories about the lives and loves of those who own a certain yellow Rolls-Royce: **First purchased by Lord Charles Frinton, the Marquess of Frinton (Sir Rex Harrison) for his wife as a belated anniversary present. Lady Eloise Frinton, the Marchioness of Frinton (Jeanne Moreau) finds her own use for the vehicle, one which prompts her husband to sell the car in disgust. **Gangster Paolo Malteses (George C. Scotts) moll Mae Jenkins (Shirley MacLaine) thinks the Rolls is a "classy" car in which to tour Paolos hometown in Italy. When Paolo is called away to the U.S. to finish some "business", a bored Mae takes the Rolls-Royce on a spin through the country, enjoying both the sights and handsome Italian photographer Stefano (Alain Delon), who crosses her path. **By the outbreak of World War II, the car has come into the possession of socialite Gerda Millett (Ingrid Bergman). While on her way to visit Yugoslavian royalty, Gerda and the Rolls-Royce become (at first) unwitting and then (eventually) most willing participants in the Yugoslavian fight.
Three stories of love-hurt linked only by a yellow Rolls-Royce. Lord Charles Frinton, The Marquess of Frinton (Sir Rex Harrison), an aristocrat and diplomatic official of the British Foreign and Colonial Office in the days of the British Empire, buys a brand-new yellow Phantom model as a belated anniversary gift for his wife Lady Eloise Frinton, the Marchioness of Frinton (Jeanne Moreau). They attend the ultrafashionable Ascot horse races, a socialite event never missed by the royal family, where the Marquess has a horse competing; it wins a cup, but his pride tastes bitter when he finds Eloise committing infidelity in the Rolls-Royce with an assistant of his, without either knowing if there is actual love between them. For appearances sake, they agree as a modus vivendi to pretend nothing has changed. The cuckolded diplomat can no longer bear to look at the Rolls-Royce, so its sold and shipped to the Italian Riviera where, allegedly after a maharajah who lost it again in Monte Carlo casino, American mafioso Paolo Maltese (George C. Scott) buys it, eager to show his ancestral country to his spoiled, slutty fiancée Mae Jenkins (Shirley MacLaine), who appreciates nothing Italian and only starts having fun after they meet young Stefano (Alain Delon), an attractive young guide-photographer, who proves himself as an entertaining flirt. When Paolo must return for a few days to Miami for business, he leaves Mae to continue the tour, for which she couldnt care less, nor the old Lieutenant Joey Friedlander (Art Carney) left to chaperon her, so they are both bored, take a spin to the Amalfi coast, and in Soriano bump into Stefano again, who this time gets to entertain and seduce Mae, and during a swim takes her diving to a mythological nymphs grotto, where Stefano finally learns who his dangerous rival is, yet they finally kiss--silently noted by Joey--but she dreads Paolos return and just in time decides to dump her lover rather than risk a bloodbath. In 1941, the Rolls-Royce is in Trieste, where the Yugoslav Davich (Omar Sharif) begs a ride from American celebrity Gerda Millett (Ingrid Bergman), who is on her way to visit his King Peter, and smuggles him in her trunk; soon war catches up.
