At the beginning, the young nanny Chloe is instructed to tempt the middle-aged painter Julian with various sexy outfits. Julian struggles between reason and desire, while his wife Eleanor keeps picking fights. The conflict comes to a head when Julian nearly gives in, only to accidentally discover that his wife is watching from across the way, revealing that it was a trap she set up to catch him cheating so he would leave empty-handed. Julian completely breaks off with her, then turns the plan around by luring his wife to catch him in the act and uses video evidence to strike back, forcing his scheming wife to leave without a penny. The nanny repents and leaves, and Julian regains his freedom. Unexpectedly, the nanny's new job is at Julian's gallery, and they run into each other again. Amid Eleanor's revenge, Julian and the nanny help each other and eventually end up together.
