Summary
To marry the daughter of the wealthy Monsieur Cucuroux, Gontran de
Saint-Paul must first leave his mistress, which is not an easy
undertaking as she is devotedly attached to him. The evening when
he thinks he has finally rid himself of his mistress, Gontran is
surprised to find a complete stranger in his bed, a girl named
Geneviève. Gontran’s mistress claims her revenge by
revealing this fact to Cucuroux, who, to save face, pretends that
Geneviève is his daughter. The arrival of a Red Indian
from the other side of the Atlantic complicates matters even further,
but all turns out well in the end...
