action

Lemmy Caution, FBI Special Agent , is contacted by Italian Claudia Ferguson while on vacation on the Côte d'Azur . She asks him to meet in private at midnight in Fisherman's Bay because she calls herself a criminal. When her friends appear, Claudia abruptly interrupts the conversation with the agent. From his old friend Dombie, who runs a local wine bar, Lemmy learns that the clique around Claudia regularly spend their holidays in a villa. At the agreed meeting point, Lemmy finds the girl dying at the foot of a slope next to a tape with a whispered suicide announcement. He brings the body to her friends' house in the villa.

When questioning the present women Françoise, Sophie and Marie-Christine, the agent notices that their husbands all work in military or diplomatic positions. The ladies meet here regularly, and there was another lady in the circle of friends until her death six years ago. The two men present, the owner of the local shipyard , Mirko and the doctor Dr. Nollet try to convince Lemmy of an accident in Claudia's death, also because of the tape found. Lemmy doubts this, however. The reason he gives the whispering voice on the tape, which makes identification impossible, as well as the total integrity of the tape cover after the fall from a height of 20 meters.

When the villa was being observed the next day, Lemmy and Dombie were shot from a boat. Lemmy asks the three women to tell him everything about Claudia's story by morning, then he drives to Mickey's shipyard and assumes that he is the shooter. When Lemmy returns to the wine tavern, he finds Françoise, who tells of an earlier relationship between Claudias and Hugo, the golf teacher . This tried to blackmail Claudia with old love letters. Hugo is also identified by Dombie as the owner of the boat from which the shot was taken. In the golf club there is a confrontation and a fight between the men, Hugo denies the blackmail, but admits the shots at Lemmy and Dombie. He asserts that he only wants to instill fear in the men. Lemmy takes the letters and hands them to the women. Due to the conversation with Hugo, Lemmy found out that there was no affair, so when faced with this, the women remain silent. Only when Lemmy escapes another murder attack by a bomb on the way back do the women begin to tell the story.

Six years ago, the women, at the time still supplemented by Irene, were invited to a private party. Drugs were smoked during the party . When Irene collapsed , the friends thought the girl was dead and dumped her body in the sea. When the police later found the body, the autopsy found water in the lungs, thus certifying death by drowning. The women who became aware of killing their friend were then coerced by a blackmailer to share their husbands' secrets.

After Mirko was fished out of the sea, pierced by a harpoon, Lemmy found out by chance that Dr. Nollet as a former coroner has determined the death of Irene. During a search of Nollet's apartment, Dombie and Lemmy find a secret room with Marie-Christine, Sophie and Claudia's notes and a bomb. The doctor's attempt to lock them up in the room fails, Lemmy is able to put Nollet with Hugo and another henchman in the boathouse. Françoise, who turned out to be an accomplice, manages to escape by boat with Nollet. Because of the bomb Lemmy hid there, the two die in the explosion.

reception

Cinema rated the film as "rough-hewn fun" and wrote: "The unexciting plot only serves as a vehicle to show Eddie Constantine, who is serious, in the best macho manner."
