Young women keep disappearing in Paris. A famous surgeon is kidnapping them to conduct facial graft experiments; he wants to restore his own daughter’s face, which was disfigured in a terrible car accident. But each operation is a new failure and the police start investigating the disappearances. The officers offer up a young female criminal as bait—only to quickly lose track of her.
