A stylish, darkly playful giallo thriller that balances visual elegance and genre conventions with paranoid cat-and-mouse tension over a MacGuffin.

Assassins are after a prostitute who has come into possession of a cigarette lighter that, unbeknownst to her, contains the negatives that show a politician's assassination. A delightfully playful giallo starring the beautiful Carole Bouquet as Mystère, a high class call girl who becomes the target for a couple of assassins.
