The film belongs to Dekeukeleire's avant-garde period and exudes the influence of the different avant-garde strands in Europe. Besides Histoire de Détective Dekeukeleire made three other avant-garde films: Combat de Boxe (1927), Impatience (1928) and Witte Vlam (1930).

Plot

Detective T is charged by Madame Jonathan to shadow her husband, Monsieur Jonathan, due to his recent distant and distracted behavior. Monsieur Jonathan's travels lead them from Brussels to the Belgian coast, and to Luxembourg.
