Summary
Talented singer and dancer Lulu Natier has lost her illusions about men
after learning that her latest lover, Robert, is a married man who has
no intention of divorcing his wife. She is equally disappointed
by Edmond Petersen, who thinks that money is enough to seduce
her. Still, she has to admit that she is not entirely
unsusceptible to Alain Cartier, even though she knows he is after her
money. During a stay in Cannes, where Lulu is to perform in a
show at a casino, she meets Jo, a boxer, and Max, a gigolo. Both
men fall head over heels in love with her and can’t wait to see her in
the show that evening. Unfortunately, Lulu’s former lovers,
Edmond, Robert and Alain, will also be in the audience...
