Murder
When the husband of countess Manon Moreau (Mia May) is murdered, suspicion falls on André Rabatin (Vladimir Gajdarov), who manages to convince the countess it was all an accident.
When also the count's servant gets murdered, the real culprit of this murder is revealed: the wrestler Ombrade (Emil Jannings), who tried to prevent a secret rendez-vous between his girlfriend Musette (Erika Gläsnner) and the count.
While the countess leaves the courtroom a free woman, Rabatin and Ombrade are condemned to forced labour.

Jealousy
Ten years after:
Manon returns to Paris and finds out that her daughter Kitty, living with her grandmother, and André, released from prison, have an affair. She begs him not to destroy her daughter's life as well.
Ombrade, released from prison and made jealous by Musette, enters the house and kills André in a fight.
While Manon is first suspected, in the end mother and daughter are cleared from all suspicion.
