Film Synopsis

A young woman has become bored with her husband - and no wonder.  A man of few words, he is much older than she is and a martyr to his ill health.  How easily is this unfortunate, neglected wife drawn into a sordid relationship with another man - a rich banker addicted to crude sadomasochistic thrills.  They meet one spring evening, and soon they are caught up in a passionate affair of the most warped and destructive kind.  He is confident of the power he has over all women and believes that his latest conquest will provide all that he desires.  She feels as if she has been reborn, so potent are the feelings of empowerment and freedom that the relationship gives her.  The game reaches its dizzying climax when the banker offering his mistress a million dollars if she will perform a special errand for him.  It is an offer that is too tempting to resist, and when she has fulfilled her part of the bargain the woman returns to her lover to conclude their satanic deal...
