Synopsis
During a yachting party given by Hungarian film producer Sir Leopold Sartori, Sir Leopold finds his wife with screenwriter Charlie Sorel. Sartori shoots Sorel, whose body falls into the sea and is never recovered. When George Tracy, Charlie's best friend and executor of his will, is at Charlie's seaside home straightening out the dead man's affairs, a blonde woman appears and tells him that she is Charlie reincarnated. Charlie begins to enjoy being a woman with a man's mind. She flirts with millionaire Bruce Minton and tries to blackmail some of the wealthy married women with whom the male Charlie had been having affairs. George is appalled by Charlie's behavior but attracted to her at the same time. Sir Leopold is also attracted to Charlie, and when his wife finds Charlie in his embrace, she shoots Charlie, who once again falls into the sea. George is preparing to hush up the affair when an attractive young woman appears with a large dog, which turns out to be the third incarnation of Charlie. George and the woman are immediately attracted to each other, while the canine Charlie finds pleasure with a bottle of vodka.
