1914. At the start of WWI, Princess Clemence
de Bormes, a young widow, decides to make her own contribution to the
war effort by converting her hotel into a hospital for wounded
soldiers. One day, a young officer introduces himself to her as
Guillaume Thomas de Fontenoy, nephew of a well-known general. In
truth, his name is simply Guillaume Thomas, and he is no officer, just
a man who stole a uniform so he could join in the big war
adventure. Thanks to his borrowed name, Guillaume finds it easy
to obtain the necessary papers which will put the injured soldiers into
Clemence’s good hands. Thomas’s activities start to
irritate Pesquel Dufort, the Princess’ fiancé and manager of the
local newspaper. On the day that Thomas decides to leave Paris to
return to the battlefront, Pesquel Dufort sees an opportunity to make
his move...
