|aIn Paris in the 1840's a consumptive courtesan falls in love with a young man from a family of so to say suffocating respectability. It seems not to occur to him that it is she who is paying their bills. His father appears, and says that the scandal is ruining the sister's chance of an advantageous marriage. The lovers part, he in a spirit of rancor, she in sacrifice. Later, he humiliates her in public. At her deathbed, however, they are reconciled.
