Judith, Count Robert de Bertan's daughter, is on holiday with her friend Louise and her father Marquis Emile de Fers. Meanwhile, banker Charles Delcourt has introduced De Bertan to the owner of a gambling-and-dance hall, Olga Tatschowas. De Bertan, unaware that his banker has lost the capital he gave him to invest at Olga's gambling tables, falls in love with Olga. He marries her, unaware that he is the victim of a plot hatched by Delcourt and Olga, who desires a title and De Bertan's possession. Returning home, Judith is confronted with an avaricious stepmother who, through Delcourt's legal chicanery, has succeeded in gaining everything De Bertan owns. Judith and her father seek refuge in the castle of the Marquis de Fers. There De Bertan dies. And it is there that Judith meets George Delcourt, who falls in love with her. His uncle Charles Delcourt, now bankrupt and ruined by his gambling, commits suicide. Countess Olga lures Judith back home, hoping to deprive her of the inheritance to which she is entitled. But when Olga's forgery of a document is exposed, she flees abroad. George, who has learned from his grandmother Anne about the fraudulent practices of her son, his uncle Charles, hurries back to Judith. In his arms, Judith looks forward to a new and happy life.
