Consequently, when Louis falls in love with Emilie de Lesparre, Fabien at once follows suit. Emilie and her father return to Paris and Louis decides to follow. Fabien remains home with his mother. Arriving in Paris, Louis receives a warm welcome from Emilie, much to the chagrin of M. Chateau Renaud, who, thinking he had won Emilie's love, sees in Louis a rival. His fears are soon realized, for Emilie turns from him. Out of revenge he decides to compromise her, and to this end, he induces her, under a pretext, to attend a Bohemian supper to be held after a masked ball. Not content with this, and in order to still further humiliate her, he makes a wager with one of his friends that he will bring her there by four o'clock. He had not foreseen, however, that Louis would attend the supper. On the stroke of four, Renaud and Emilie enter the supper room. Emilie is terrified to find herself in such company and, seeing Louis among the guests, asks him to escort her home. Renaud, furious at Louis' interference, strikes him and a challenge follows. Louis and Renaud meet the next day and Renaud quickly runs him through. The thrust that pierces Louis' breast is felt by his brother Fabien in Corsica, who at once fears for Louis' safety. His fears are realized that evening by the appearance of Louis' spirit. Fabien swears to avenge his brother's death and leaves for Paris, where he meets Renaud and, on the self-same spot where Louis was killed, he kills Renaud in a fierce encounter. His brother being thus avenged, he rides to the home of Emilie and comforts her with the news that Renaud is dead and Louis avenged. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
