Synopsis

Three cover girls work for a photographer. When they're not posing, they take their clothes off to take a bath. A rich diamond dealer takes the opportunity to look at them at the binocular. A mobster, Jo Darrien, with the half-unconscious complicity of one of the girls, Kim, decides to seize the precious stones of the diamond dealer. He slips into his apartment, tortures him to get the figure from the safe, kills him and takes away the diamonds. Kim's mother-in-law, a former prostitute, whose protector was a certain Luigi, decides to reconnect with the boss of the nightclub that took over from Luigi.

Unfortunately for her, her husband, Mr. Veuillot, a jealous and suspicious character, has her shot by a photographer and blackmailer who unexpectedly takes a compromising photograph of her. Events are rushing. Kim gets the diamonds Jo Darrien hid. The mobsters of the nightclub try to get Jo Darrien to speak, whom they have captured as well as the blackmailer. All this leads to an almost general killing. Mr. Veuillot, with the help of his wife, will find his daughter, Kim, who has taken refuge with the young photographer. Jo Darrien emerges and is shot in-extremis by Luigi's last man.
