The story

Beautiful, young, sexy Madeleine de Beaupre selects a string of perfect pearls worth millions of francs at a posh Parisian jeweler. She cons the owner Aristide Duvalle into believing she is married to an eminent and wealthy psychiatrist, Maurice Pauquet, and has him deliver the pearls to Pauquet's office in order for him to pay for them. Before the scheduled time she meets Pauquet there and tells him her husband has delusions of needing to collect debts and needs to be examined.
