Jean-Pierre Léaud er tilbage som Antoine Doinel i den dejlige Stjålne kys (Baisers volés), den tredje film i serien. Året er 1968, og den altid forelskede gavtyv Doinel er blevet smidt ud af hæren i vanære. Ved et tilfælde bliver han privatdetektiv i Paris og løber derved ind i en række uheldige situationer. Filmen er pudsig, nostalgisk og uhjælpelig romantisk, og den er Truffauts hyldest til ungdommens lidenskab og ubesindighed.
