One day, Michel Ferréol reluctantly meets up with an old school friend, Antoine Fiesco.  Michel didn’t like Antoine much when they were at school and tries to get away by making an excuse.  He changes his mind when Antoine introduces him to his wife, a beautiful brunette named Christine.  From the latter’s revelations about her husband, Michel suspects that she may be willing to spend a night with him.  When Antoine leaves to go back to work, Michel invites Christine to a restaurant where he hopes to seduce her.  She refuses to go with him to a hotel but, to Michel’s surprise, she will allow him to make love to her at her own apartment, in the knowledge that her husband could come back at any moment...
