Hiding out in a Monte Carlo mansion to escape the wrath of his girlfriend’s mobster husband turns out to be a faulty strategy for a con man (Alain Delon) on the run. Once inside, he becomes the object of two women’s desperate desires. One is an older female who says she’s married but is recently widowed (Lola Albright) with a boyfriend (Robert Oumansky) on the side; the other is her younger niece (Jane Fonda), who has her own agenda.
