Summary

Flesh and the devil: A beautiful temptress creates a deadly triangle when two life-long friends both fall in love with her.

The temptress: An unhappy wife (Elena) falls in love with an Argentinian engineer (Robledo), but when it is revealed that she is not only married, but has also been another man's mistress, Robledo returns to South America. Years later, Robledo returns to Paris and runs into Elena, who does not seem to recognize him. Elena has become a pathetic drunkard who is apparently beyond Robledo's help.
