Clara is a young canteen worker who lives among workers on a building
site. Irresistibly attracted to these men by their physical
prowess, she gives herself willing to them. Only Tonio Borelli
manages to resist Clara's seductive charms, and this rejection serves
merely to sow the seeds of love in her heart. Clara is certain
that Tonio is the one man who can satisfy her physical and emotional
needs and she soon manages to persuade him to marry her. At
first, they live happily together in Paris, but soon, when Tonio is
away from home, Clara once again slips back into a life of vice and
becomes a prostitute...
