==Plot== Olivier, a young and uncouth provincial, arrives in Paris and teams up with his friend Mario to sell art books door to door. When they try to sell books to Ariane, an attractive, slightly older woman in her dressing gown, she invites them into her luxury apartment and asks them to fix her overflowing bathtub. Upon learning that the apartment downstairs is empty, Mario persuades a reluctant Olivier to rob the place. That night, the two break into the apartment and find it is the sex dungeon of Ariane, who is a professional dominatrix. After catching the intruders, she asks Olivier to urinate on a client's face. She kisses him and ultimately pays him. Later that night, Olivier takes Ariane to dinner.
