Plot – In the outskirts of Paris stands the Delassalle male college. The director, Michel Delassalle, former sports champion, is known for his strictness: not only students, but also teachers have to undergo his tyranny without arguing. The beautiful and young wife of the director, Christina, is also part of the teaching staff and Michel founded the college thanks to her money. Nicole Horner is a new teacher and soon becomes Michel's lover. However, the two women end up becoming allies against the man they have in common. With a trick, they lure him into a trap, kill him and simulate an accident in the college pool, but Michel's body disappears.
