Synopsis
Cathy, a seductive young woman, decides to take revenge on two crooks,
Bontemps and Lachard. These two are responsible for the bankruptcy and ruin
of her father, and so she asks Michel, her ex-husband, to give her a
helping hand. There is no other solution for them than to become crooks themselves,
so they conceive a shady deal with Bontemps on a island in Brittany. The first
part of their plan is a success and they leave with a huge sum of money.
The second part is to take place in Monte Carlo, where they can expect a
dramatic showdown with Lachard...
