Enter the world of Madame Claude (Françoise Fabian), a well-connected business lady who uses her modelling agency as a cover for her true trade, supplying ladies to wealthy, greedy, powerful men at any time in any place across the globe allowing them to indulge in their sexual fantasies. But this madame has a very sinister side and uses compromising pictures of her clients to blackmail all involved. Steamy, salacious and based (slightly) on a true story, director Just Jaeckin (Emmanuelle) delivers hot and steamy set-pieces all accompanied by a sultry score from Serge Gainsbourg which all builds to a breathless climax in the final reel.
