Plot summary
Bob, an ex-convict with money to spend, meets Monique and Antoine in a dance hall while the married pair is in the middle of a row. He breaks up the quarrel and draws the penniless couple into his life, paying for their pleasures and taking them along on break-ins at prosperous houses. In one of them, while he and Antoine search the place for money, Monique, delighted by luxury she has not known, has a bath and takes clothes and scent for herself. The three get away even when the owners are at home or come back while they are there.
