Romy Schneider and Rod Steiger star in Claude Chabrol's tale of passion, deceit and murder on the French Riviera. Schneider plays a bored housewife killing time on the beaches of St. Tropez with her boorish, impotent husband, Steiger. When a handsome young man in the form of Francois Mastre arrives on the scene, a triangle is formed, with Steiger standing in the way of his adulterous wife's desires. A scheme to do away with her husband quickly forms and appears successful early on, until things begin to go terribly wrong in the most unexpected ways.
