Summary
Isabelle, the daughter of multi-millionaire Frank Lindstrom, chooses to marry an impoverished journalist, Jean de Charvin.  Lindstrom is convinced that Jean is after the money Isabelle will inherit after his death and so revises his will to ensure that his daughter will receive nothing.  When he learns of this, Jean is outraged and resolves to take his revenge on the weak old man.  Sure enough, on the day that Lindstrom changes his will in Isabelle’s favour, Jean pays him a visit – not to thank him, but to kill him...
