A solitary schoolgirl and shy student, ever since she can remember Judith has fantasised about spankings in any form. Roxanne, an exciting and glamorous school friend seeks her out and Judith gradually becomes besotted, incorporating Roxanne in her fantasies. Invited to France for a long stay in the lovely house run by the elegant Madame, Judith is quite fascinated at discovering a martinet in the schoolroom and later experiences it for herself during a punishment. Judith finds a boyfriend - Xavier - who makes Roxanne very jealous. This leads to a game of Pontoon with spanking forfeits. Judith is later reunited with the fascinating Madame, who makes her an offer she can't refuse. Energised by Madame's spanking, Judith takes herself off to skate in the park and offers assistance to a shy young Englishman. Thus begins a slow but steady relationship which endures after Harry has to leave Paris. Judith stays one last night at Madame's apartment, sad to be leaving Paris but knowing she is doing the right thing in returning to England. They keep in touch even though Judith marries and has children with a local man who loves her.
