After
a heist, notorious jewel thief Rochard is murdered on a train. A bit later
in Paris, his daughter Nicole - working as a stripper - is questioned
by the police. They want to know the whereabouts of the diamonds her father
stole. She doesn't know and she tells that to the cops. During the night,
a masked man with penetrating blue eyes breaks into her apartment and
threatens her, again thinking she knows about the jewels. In the morning,
Nicole goes to her boyfriend Michael's place to ask for help but when
she discovers blue contact lens in his bathroom she begins to suspect
him. Lots of plot twists and Giallo thrills from director Ercoli make
this one of the best in a crowded genre.
