The film is told in flashbacks by Nanon (Lia Tora) who tells a virginal young girl (Lupita Tovar) four stories of men she knew in her past, one of whom she accidentally killed in self defense while working as a roulette girl in a casino. Nanon fled the scene of the murder. Later on, Nanon married a well-to-do socialite named Pierre, but he left her when he learned about her unsavory past. In the end, Nanon is unexpectedly reunited with Pierre, who is now working for a living as a cab driver.
