The heroine (Ginger Rogers) is a kept woman who has everything that money (Stanley Baker) can buy-from a villa on the Riviera to a Jaguar parked outside it. But all she really wants is love (Jacques Ber-gerac). Bergerac (Actress Rogers' real-life fourth husband) is an artsy-craftsy type who makes expressionistic pottery for a living.
