Plastic surgeon Richard Lafargue keeps Eve, a femme fatale, locked up and punishes her to avenge an old offense, while his daughter Viviane wastes away in an asylum. A young thief on the run from the police bursts into this triangle of madness and humiliation, and Inspector Gabelou investigates the bloody contents of a refrigerator.
