Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[2] Duke Rutzinoff, who cannot marry Angele Didier, the woman he loves, because she has no title, arranges for a count to marry her to give her a title, and to divorce her immediately afterward. To this offer Count Rene Duval agrees in order to obtain money for a friend. The newlyweds happen to meet after the ceremony without knowing they are married, and fall in love. The Duke denounces them for breaking the agreement, and a duel follows. The woman, learning that the Count is not a fortune hunter, but has married her for the sake of a friend, is conciliated.
