- Life smiles at Dr. Raymond Marty: he works as a researcher with professor Monbel, a man he deeply admires. On a personal level things are fine as well since he is about to marry Germaine, the prof's daughter. But life turns sour the day Madame Reinher, a dangerous vamp, sets her sights on the young man. And as Raymond refuses her obstinately, the embittered siren decides to compromise him in the presence of his future father in law. She unfortunately pulls it off, which causes Montel to break the engagement. Broken-hearted, Raymond nonetheless resists the renewed assaults of the devilish countess. But things, good or bad, must come to an end and one day the tide turns: Lili, Madame Reinher's little girl happens to fall seriously ill and her life is saved only thanks to the joint efforts of Martyl and Monbel, who have been sent for. Thankful to the two men, the countess eventually brings herself to confess the nasty trick she played on Raymond.—Guy Bellinger
- Professor Montbel, an eminent bacteriologist, has a daughter, Germaine, to whom his favorite pupil, Raymond Roycroft, is engaged. The professor has a neighbor, the brilliant and charming Countess Reinber, who is an adventuress at heart. She invites the Montbels and Roycroft to the birthday party of her little daughter. Raymond is warned against the Countess by a friend, who tells him that she has ruined the happiness of many. While at the party Raymond overhears an altercation between the Countess and the Duke de Mora and rushes in to prevent the Countess from being struck by the Duke. The young man's attractiveness makes a deep impression upon the woman, who from that moment plots to win his love. Two days later she sees in a newspaper the announcement of Raymond's engagement to Germaine Montbel. She determines to break the engagement and writes to the young man that she is ill and desires him to treat her. She writes at the same time to the Professor and asks him to call upon her at a time a few minutes later than the time she has set for Raymond. Raymond falls into the trap and the Professor being admitted to the Countess's room as planned, finds Raymond bending over the woman in what is apparently a loving position. He breaks his daughter's engagement with the young man and will listen to no explanation. Raymond learns that the Countess has been endeavoring to blackmail the Duke de Mora and will have nothing more to do with her. The Countess gives a superb Persian fete in order to forget Raymond. Her little daughter becomes suddenly ill and in desperation at the child's condition she implores the Professor to treat the child. Impelled by a sense of duty the Professor does so and finds the child has diphtheria. Needing Raymond's assistance he sends for him and he putting his private injury to one side lends his aid. Together they pull the child through. The Countess in gratitude for the noble way in which the injured men come to her assistance confesses all, reunites the lovers and determines upon a better life.—Moving Picture World synopsis
