Synopsis
After an interval of eighteen months, Henri returns to his old friend Count Hubert of Kardec with the news that he is completely cured of his dipsomania.  He is a new man, his addiction to alcohol apparently supplanted by a craze for telling everyone that he is no longer an alcoholic.  During a shopping expedition, Henri confesses to Gisèle, Hubert’s mistress, that the reason he took to drink was so that he could forget how much he loved her.  Gisèle is so moved by this revelation that she loses her heart to Henri and the two become secret lovers.  All is well until the day when, after an accident, Hubert presses Henri to take a drink with him.  A few glasses of whiskey later, Henri becomes far from reticent about his affair with Gisèle...
