Film Synopsis
Jack Sloane, a Parisian multi-millionaire and financial shark, falls in love with a supermodel, Christie. To prove his love to her, he lets her think that he has been ruined by a disastrous financial transaction. To that end, he asks his personal adviser, Julien Boulet, to stage his bankruptcy. The ruse works and Christie devotes herself to Jack. But when she discovers she has been duped, she arranges for him to be kidnapped and demands a ransom of two million dollars. When Jack attempts to recover his fortune he realises too late that Julien has betrayed him and robbed him of his wealth. He sets about trying to find Christine once more...© James Travers
