Synopsis

In The Four Seasons, George Valentine is approached by the stunning showgirl, Donna Mae Lawson, who seeks his help with a delicate task. She needs him to deliver four exquisite miniature paintings, believed to be the only works of art ever created by Rubens. These miniatures, representing the Four Seasons of Love, are worth a staggering $50,000, and Donna is desperate to sell them without her husband, Charles, finding out about the transaction. The allure of the paintings and the charm of Donna Mae draw George into a world of intrigue that he cannot resist.
