Having been ruined by his unscrupulous competitors, Nicolas Montgerbier ends up in prison.  He has lost everything - his business, his wife, his apartment, his racehorse...  But, thanks to a young, recently qualified lawyer, Nathalie Challes, he is acquitted and has the opportunity of starting over again.  Nicolas becomes obsessed with Nathalie and starts to harangue her day and night.  How will he react when he discovers that Nathalie's future husband Frank is involved with the scoundrels who bankrupted him?
