In Algiers, Cesar Sarati runs a downmarket boarding house, renting out rooms at extortionate rates to coal haulers.  Sarati is a mean and despicable man who has amorous designs on his niece, Rose.  But Rose has fallen in love with another man, a former gambler named Gilbert, who has sworn to change his ways if she will marry him.  In the end, Sarati loses not only his niece, but also his tenants.  Alone and ruined, he ends up killing himself.
