Just as she is about to marry her dashing fiancé Robert
Zamietti, the young and wealthy heiress Hélène de
Richemond is given a letter from her mother, who died shortly after
giving birth to her. Brought up by her aunt and uncle,
Hélène has never seen her father, so she is surprised to
learn, on reading the letter, that he is none other than Henri
