These four women decide to have a four-day holiday at a lavish resort overlooking Monte Carlo, on the French coast.

For two days they have a lavish time, sunbathing at the pool, gambling with loads of money, dining on expensive food and drinking only the best champagne.

After having a drunken, indulgent night on the yacht they wake up to police raiding the harbor, taking everyone off all the boats there.

They stand accused in court, facing years, if not their entire lives, in prison.
