在这部娼街剧情片中,男主角有一个温馨美好的家庭，在乡村的别墅，有着他美丽的妻子和可爱的孩子。丈夫因为公事小别妻子来到巴黎，顿时被夜色巴黎下的风尘女子所吸引。70年代的巴黎，即使是色情场所都充满着浓浓的法国式的优雅，在一座欧式的公寓内，众多风韵各异的女子优雅地在座位上吸着烟品着红酒，或者透着窗对着路上的行人秋波暗送。男主角被一位风尘女子所吸引，不惜一掷千金买得春宵一刻，或许因为好奇或许也因为离开家寂寞的孤身一人，虽然看不出这个娼妓与他妻子有何相似之处，男主角却倾情与此。渐渐地，原本脑子里只存在金钱交易的娼妓也似乎对男主角产生了感情。最后，男主角因为儿子的溺水身亡以及妻子的自杀而精神崩溃，最终饮弹而亡，而娼妓依旧维持着肉体交易的本职工作。
Sigismond (Joe Dallesandro) is a man lost in an erotic haze which clouds his judgment. Early in the film, it is evident that the man has a physically passionate relationship with his wife, with whom he has a son. While on a business trip to Paris, he comes under the spell of a famous, beautiful prostitute (Sylvia Kristel) who resembles his wife. However, his efforts to monopolize her attention are not appreciated by her pimp, and he is severely beaten. When he gets a letter informing him of the death of his wife and son, he is totally devastated.
