One day Martina realizes that one of her lovers has the audacity to leave her for a young brainless virgin, Angie. So she gives Andy a vengeful assignment: to lead her new rival astray. Andy, however, has more ambitious plans: he proposes to seduce the prudish Christina, a young pianist whose musical talent is equaled only by her unwavering chastity. In frustration, Martina challenges, Andy: if he succeeds she will be his at last. But when Andy falls in love, the two seducing accomplices turn into ruthless rivals.
