Summary
Jane Diamant is a popular but highly temperamental star at the Paris
night spot Les Folies-Bergère. One evening, a burglar
named Bob breaks into her villa. Seduced by Jane’s beauty and

next day, Jane’s employer is surprised to find a sudden change in his
star’s demeanour. Eros has worked his magic on her.
Meanwhile, Bob has been arrested for murder, a crime of which he is
innocent. He knows that Jane can provide him with the alibi he

through fear of soiling her reputation...
