Irène is the paid escort of wealthy older men in the south of France. Suitors and their credit cards in tow, she hops from one ritzy Côte d'Azur hotel to another. Wandering down to the bar one night after Jacques, her current lover, has fallen asleep on her, she sees Jean, who's deserted his post behind the empty bar for a nap on the sofa. Soon after, she decides that he's wealthy, therefore eligible. It doesn't last, and the morning after brings exposure, recriminations and bitter farewells. Irène makes no excuses: she wants men who can provide her with clothes and jewellery and meals at the finest restaurants. Time passes and Irène and Jean meet up again in the south of France where she spends all his money just to teach him a lesson. Broke and dispirited, Jean is looking for a job as a dishwasher when Madeleine, a wealthy widow, takes a liking to him and launches him on a career as a gigolo.
