Sophie works as a secretary in a shop that deals in art objects. After three months, she falls in love with her boss, but he is worried about money problems and she hears a client threaten him when the intercom is left on. One night, Sophie finds her boss leaning over the blackmailer's body in the shop. He tells her it was in self-defense and pleads with her not to tell the police. She covers for him and later retrieves the statuette used to hit the blackmailer. But the man was not dead and she was being used by both men to help smuggle diamonds hidden in the statuette.
