Summary
Quantin lives with his family in a village near the Swiss border.  He is increasingly anxious that he has received no news from his eldest daughter, Marie-Louise, who went to Lyons to find work as a hairdresser.  At his wife’s insistence, Quantin leaves for the city, accompanied by Frédéric, Marie-Louise’s fiancé.  Arriving in Lyons, Quantin and Frédéric are surprised when they learn that she no longer works at the hairdressing salon.  They are told that Marie-Louise is now working at the Trianon, a beauty salon for men.  According to the Trianon’s manager, Marie-Louise is involved in the prostitution racket.  Devastated, Quantin and Frédéric resolve to find Marie-Louise and bring her back home, if it is not already to late...
