- The banker, Enzel, had refused the young engineer, Victor, the hand of his daughter Beatrice, because he had not a situation important enough to allow of his marrying her. Victor decided to leave for South America, where he could rapidly become rich. Beatrice loved him and promised to be faithful until his return. The Count d'Artois fell in love with Beatrice, and did not hesitate to make known to her his love and his desire to marry her, but she coldly repulsed him. About two days after Beatrice prevented her father from killing himself. He found himself on the point of ruin because he could not meet his obligations and wanted to wash away his dishonor with his blood. Beatrice decided to save him by marrying the Count d'Artois. The banker would not accept the sacrifice of his daughter, but it was useless to dissuade her, for she wrote to the Count that she was ready to accept him. During these happenings Victor, who was in South America, had begun to lay the foundation of his wealth in the lumber business and hoped soon to return to his native land with a fortune. But one day he read the news of Beatrice's marriage with the Count. He at once became uneasy. Clarisse, a young American girl, who was employed with Victor as cashier, immediately partook of a large part of his sorrow and Victor found in her a consolation full and soft. Slowly an affection sprung up between them. In a short time after Victor, happy to have found a sincere love in Clarisse, forgot his sorrow and lost no time in marrying her. Two years after Victor is rich. His first love now is but a souvenir of regret. Desiring to see his native land again, he decided to return. After his return, at a hall which he attended with Clarisse, he saw Beatrice prettier than ever surrounded by admirers and in the midst of light. This troubled him profoundly and to cover his emotion he left the ballroom and went into the garden. Beatrice, from among her circle of admirers, saw him and with difficulty smothered her feelings. Profiting by a moment when alone, she went out to join him. She did not want Victor to think bad of her and she wanted to explain matters to him. But love without doubt made their hearts beat, and after a few words the fire within them kindled their love anew. Several days after she wrote Victor, telling him that her husband had left and made an appointment for the night at her home. Victor, pretending to be at work, left his wife to go asleep alone. When everybody was asleep, Victor went out to meet Beatrice. But a hoodlum roaming around the villa planning to commit a theft, saw him go out and, thinking he would soon come back, watched him pass out of sight and crept through the window into Victor's library. Clarisse could not sleep. She got up and looked at the clock. She went to call him, but she stopped suddenly by a thief who was ransacking the drawers of the bureau. She threw herself upon the intruder, a scuffle ensued. Clarisse was getting the worst of it. The burglar seized the revolver that was in the drawer and pulled the trigger. Clarisse fell dead and the robber took to flight. At 4 o'clock in the morning, Victor, after his last passionate kisses, left Beatrice to return home. Meanwhile the police, summoned by the servants, appeared. The chief of police had the corpse carried to the sleeping-room and interrogated the servants. While the police were questioning the servants, one of them saw Victor coming. The chief of police ordered all in the room to hide. Victor entered very cautiously and, when confronted by the police, was greatly surprised. The chief of police asked him to tell where he was during the night, but before he could answer the guilt was fastened upon him, as his revolver, which the burglar had used, showed that one barrel was empty and nobody saw the burglar enter or disappear. Victor was led off to jail. The next day the news of the murder was brought to the ears of Beatrice. It greatly annoyed her, for she knew that she was to blame for asking him to visit her. She went to the Judge handling Victor's case and testified that Victor had spent the night with her. When Victor came to his senses he corroborated Beatrice's statement, and so an alibi was established. Victor threw himself into Beatrice's arms and they fervently embraced each other.

Tired of the delay he upbraids Burton, who calmly informs him of the situation and that his bank will not open the following day. But fate intervenes in behalf of the banker and the captain.

The Baron, who is shortly to leave Paris for a lengthy stay abroad, by a strange coincidence takes passage with Capt. Corri, of which fact Burton is informed. Burton, elated at the possibility of regaining his losses now that he has the millionaire's funds to speculate with, conceives a means to forever gain possession of this fortune. He does not hesitate to take Capt. Corri into his confidence and propose that the Baron must meet with a fatal accident while aboard ship. The captain refuses to be a party to the conspiracy, but Burton points out it must be done or ruin will only be temporarily deferred until the Baron returns. Corri eventually realizes there is no other alternative and reluctantly consents to carry out the plot. The vessel sails and the captain and the Baron are much in each other's company but the captain cannot bring himself to deliberately put this man out of the way. Sighting a group of rocky islands during the trip the captain has an idea. He, unobserved, disables the engines of the vessel which necessitates anchoring off the island until repairs are made. During the wait he induces the Baron to visit the island and Captain Corri returns alone, reporting to the vessel's crew that the Baron accidentally fell down a bottomless ravine. Reaching port the captain wires the news to Burton who consoles the sorrowing widow and her daughter. Burton has applied the Baron's funds to his own use and even though the millionaire is dead, his widow will someday ask for an accounting.

Corri returns from his trip and hastens to Burton to obtain his share of the spoils but meets with disappointment as the arch villain points out that it cannot be done until after he has married the widow. The conspirators are not to meet with the success they anticipate, the sea gave up its secret. Baron Mauntant did not fall down the ravine; he was deserted by Capt. Corri and marooned upon the island. Corri was too cowardly to personally put his victim out of the way, so left him to die a lingering death. The crew of a fishing smack picked up a bottle at sea in which was found the story of the Baron's misfortune, dated over a year ago. The authorities were quickly notified of the message and attended to the punishment of Barton and his tool in short order.
