Synopsis
A hedonistic cabal of wealthy Parisian men called "The Thirteen" are devoted to helping one another attain their own selfish ends. Among them is Henri Marsay, a high-fashion photographer whose chief pastime is winning bets from the other members of his coterie by successfully seducing his attractive models. One day, quite by accident, he encounters an enchanting young woman with golden eyes. Though he eventually succeeds in adding her to his list of conquests, he is unable to learn her name or her background, nor is he able to explain the lavish apartment and wardrobe that seem to be at her disposal. Puzzled, he discusses the mysterious girl with Léo, a woman who is not only his business associate but also his close friend; then, becoming aware that Léo is the girl's benefactress and lover, Henri calls upon the thirteen for help. They discover that Léo has removed the girl to a lonely cabin in the woods, professing to help her. Henri forces Léo to accompany him to the spot, and upon their arrival, he allows Léo a few minutes alone with the girl. Following an emotional scene in which the girl confesses her love for Henri, Léo stabs her to death; and Henri catches her in his arms.
