The stories are: "Le Masque" — A man dancing at a nightclub—the "Palais de la dance"—collapses. The doctor who treats him gets a surprise. "La Maison Tellier" — Julia Tellier is a Miss Kitty who keeps a "house", or rather a brothel, in a Norman seaside town. She closes down her brothel because her niece is having her first communion. The madam and her hookers (one is played by Danielle Darrieux) go to the madam's hometown in the country, and stay on the farm of the madam's brother, Joseph (Jean Gabin). "Le Modèle" — A painter, Jean, falls in love with his model, Josephine (Simone Simon). But things go bad.

Bittersweet Ending: Josephine follows through on Jean's Suicide Dare but she doesn't die. Instead, the ending reveals that she was left paralyzed, and Jean married her. He then went on to have great success as an artist while caring for Josephine.

Epic Tracking Shot: Ophuls was known for this. There's a complicated swooping tracking shot when the camera moves around the nightclub in the first story, as the man enters the club and starts dancing, and the doctor is seen in the crowd.
