Crime / Drama
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...
