Louise (Gudrun Landgrebe), the wife of a German diplomat, meets Mitsuko in an art class and is immediately drawn to her extraordinary beauty. An affair begins, but unknown to Louise, Mitsuko is simultaneously courting others - including Louise's husband. Through her magnetic charm, lies, blackmail, and even the use of drugs, Mitsuko manages to captivate and control the lives of her victims, taking them to new sensual heights…and depths, and ultimately to the darkest extreme of their all-consuming passion.
