Synopsis
At the Quai des Orfèvres in Paris, Inspector Forbin is interrogating Catherine Racan about Dr Daniély, a man accused of practicing abortion.  As she refuses to answer Forbin’s questions, Catherine recalls the different men she knew in Paris.  First their was Pierre, an old friend and her first lover.  After he left her to return to his home town, Catherine was charmed by Blaise Walter, a brilliant but cynical newspaper manager.  It was he who warned her about the dangers of Paris and it was thanks to him that she became a successful journalist.  In the end, Blaise left her because he didn’t want to commit himself to her.  Then there was Alain Bergère.  It was with this talented photographer that, one evening, she attended a party given by the famous Dr Danièly.  The party proved to be a disaster, owing to the presence of Daniely’s mistress, Hélène, who was once Alain’s lover, and Blaise, who seemed to regret his breaking up with Catherine.  Inflamed with jealousy by what he saw  and heard at the party, Alain abandoned Catherine, leaving her alone and pregnant...
