Film Synopsis

A hard-up photographer, Henry Barbier, is over the moon when he meets up with his old friend, Barbara, even more so when he learns that she needs his help.  The wife of a wealthy ship owner, Barbara intends to simulate the theft of her jewels, with the help of her daughter Odette.  She promises Henry a large sum of money if he will participate in this seemingly innocent scam.  Never one to disappoint a lady, Henry agrees, but soon finds himself embroiled in something far more serious than a fake robbery...
