Jacques has the ascendancy, because of the student patronage he holds by virtue of a marvelous sauce for chicken which he prepares from an inherited recipe, kept profoundly secret. Success spoils Jacques, however, and Jeanette, becoming jealous of a little singer who is mocking Jacques' airs, steals the famous recipe, knowing its secret hiding place, and gives it to Jules. Thereupon all of the students flock over to Jules, and Jeanette, with many shrugs, follows the crowd. The darkest hour has arrived for Jacques. Jules, however, is ungrateful, and does not trust Jeanette with the secret of his hiding place, which, of course, makes her angry. So one day, while Jules is preparing the sauce, she brings Jacques to the kitchen, and in the struggle which ensues for possession of the precious document it falls into the fire and burns. Both are desolated. Jules begins at once to berate Jeanette, whereupon Jacques, by his gallantry in protecting her, wins Jeanette back to himself and bears her off in triumph to his own kitchen. There, under the inspiration of her presence, he regains heart and, being persuaded by her, decides to try to make the marvelous sauce without the recipe. Monsieur Gerome passes upon the sauce's verity for the students, and success comes again to stay forever with Jacques, who thus triumphs doubly over his hated rival, Jules.
