Mr. Stem, being a practical man, finds it necessary to set Raymond free. Raymond leaves without regret. He did not love, but simply a social arrangement. He is discouraged and seeks to end his life. Before taking the fatal step, he recalls his past life, goes to sleep and dreams memories. In his dream, he sees the castle of his ancestors and the secret vault, also two lords who come to hide the fortune of the family which was never found. Raymond awakes suddenly and finds himself imbued with new energy. He prepares to visit the country of Baux and to reassure himself as to the reality of the treasure he procures all possible information relating to that country and immediately begins his researches. He visits the quarries on the Baux property. The castle of his ancestors is a total wreck, nothing but the site of towers and the dungeon remain. Little familiar with the locality, Raymond slips and injures himself. A young beggar girl, Clara, who lives with her father in the quarries, helps him. She brings her father and they take Raymond to their home. During his convalescing, Raymond explains why he came and his strange dream. Clara while walking with Raymond reveals to him an unknown cave reached by an underground passage. She helps him and the quarry men watch their movements and are jealous of Raymond's attentions to Clara. As soon as the cave is revealed to Raymond, he alone tries to find the treasure. Clara is questioned by the quarry men, who try to torture her to reveal what she knows. She refuses and they decide to entomb Raymond alive in the dungeon. Clara hears everything and she reaches the cave, when she finds they have built a stone wall at the opening. She is giving way to despair when she discovers a dynamite cartridge of frequent use in the quarry. She uses it to blow up the part of cave where Raymond is shut in. A miraculous way is opened and she finds Raymond dying. The quarry men run to keep clear of the explosion, Raymond is saved, gains possession of the "Treasure of Baux" and returns to Paris with Clara as a bride. Mr. Stern learns that Raymond has come in possession of a large fortune, rushes to congratulate him and Raymond presents his bride as the real "Treasure of Baux," much to the disappointment of banker Stern.
