Film Synopsis
A young woman has become bored with her husband - and no wonder. A
man of few words, he is much older than she is and a martyr to his ill health.
How easily is this unfortunate, neglected wife drawn into a sordid relationship
with another man - a rich banker addicted to crude sadomasochistic thrills.
They meet one spring evening, and soon they are caught up in a passionate
affair of the most warped and destructive kind. He is confident of the
power he has over all women and believes that his latest conquest will provide
all that he desires. She feels as if she has been reborn, so potent
are the feelings of empowerment and freedom that the relationship gives her.
The game reaches its dizzying climax when the banker offering his mistress
a million dollars if she will perform a special errand for him. It
is an offer that is too tempting to resist, and when she has fulfilled her
part of the bargain the woman returns to her lover to conclude their satanic
deal...
