Plot

Dalton Harvey (Mel Ferrer) is a man who has managed to amass a considerable fortune through gambling. He has become obsessed with a rival player, Larry Elliot (Renaud Verley), a womanizer, who takes on different identities and goes from city to city and from country to country seducing women and then abandoning them. Larry has seduced Dalton's wife, only to leave her, causing her to commit suicide.

Dalton comes up with a plot for revenge, investigating all of Larry's mistresses to find a woman that can seduce him and bring Larry to Dalton so that he can settle the score. He finds Maria (Marisol), a cabaret singer who works at the Moulin Rouge, but doesn't count on falling for her himself.
