Synopsis
The story begins in a
scrapyard as they roam the countryside. They befriend a thief named Sophie, who helps them escape when the burlesque show is busted. Ending up in a shipyard
, they connect with bar owner Madame Louise, who takes in runaways. Sophie convinces her sailor boyfriend to not only stow her away for the next voyage, but the other two as well. Marie and Michelle later meet two men and two women at Louise's, who take them away to a mansion and try to rape Marie, so they kill the people. When the police arrive, a gun battle ensues, and with their last two bullets, Michelle and Marie share a kiss before fulfilling their suicide pact. Marie, however, can't bring herself to pull the trigger, so Michelle walks out holding her body. Michelle walks down to the water with Marie's body. Sophie couldn't leave her friends behind, and had already left the ship. She's placed in handcuffs for an earlier pickpocketing episode, but runs and jumps off the dock to her death onto some pontoons floating below.
