Her protégé, Pierre, is Micheline's sweetheart, a young man of no especial fortune, but destined to succeed in business. His affairs necessitate a trip to France. During his absence Serge Panine, a penniless nobleman, is introduced into the household. He falls in love with Jeanne, but realizing that Micheline is the better match, determines to marry her for her fortune. Jeanne returns the adventurer's passion and scorns the suit of Cayrol, a banker, who loves her. On discovering the baseness of Serge, she accepts Cayrol through pique.
