Joan Collins stars in this double bill of dramas based on the novels by Jackie Collins. In 'The Stud' (1978) Fontaine Khaled (Collins) is married to Benjamin (Walter Gotell), a wealthy businessman, and she loves to live a life of excess. When she hires Tony (Oliver Tobias) to run her nightclub, Hobo, she expects him to sleep with her, but he soon tires of being her plaything. However, when he turns his attention to her stepdaughter Alexandra (Emma Jacobs), it spells trouble for Fontaine's marriage... In the sequel 'The Bitch' (1979), Fontaine is recently divorced and enjoying her new-found freedom, but her nightclub is struggling and she no longer has the financial security she once did. During a flight from New York she meets Nico Cantafora (Michael Coby), a conman in trouble with the mafia, and is soon embroiled in a horse-racing scam. However, with the mafia coming for Nico and local gangster Thrush Feathers (Ian Hendry) causing trouble, can Fontaine save herself from financial ruin?
