Film Synopsis

Françoise Tilmont is a former circus star who has recently put behind her her fairground years.  Now employed as en estate agent, she has found another use for her talents as a flying trapeze artist.  By night, she becomes the 'lone she-wolf', using her acrobatic skills to break into the luxury villas she has sold, undeterred by the fact that she is encroaching on the territory of another burglar, Bruno.  One day, she is caught in  trap laid for her by Inspector Durieux.  The latter enlists Françoise's help in dismantling a drugs trafficking and money laundering ring run by two embassy advisers, Saratoga and Davenport.  Françoise's reluctance to assist the inspector increases when she learns that she must work with her rival, Bruno...
