Summary
Catherine Ferrier is a well-known lawyer who specialises in cases
involving alcoholism. One evening, she meets photographer Walter
Hermelin, who has just been involved in a minor car accident. To
repay her for driving him to his destination, Walter agrees to help
Catherine obtain the photographs she needs to defend her ex-lover, the
journalist René Dargillière, who is on trial against a
gang of wine smugglers. Catherine expects this to be a scandalous
case but is surprised when it ends up revealing something of her own
past...
