Mr. and Mrs. de Larcey have just arrived to visit Suzanne Dubreuil, a young and free widow, and also Charles Vallier, a man of the world, very much charmed with Madame de Larcey. The character of Vallier incites him to use every possible means to secure his end. As soon as Mme. de Larcey arrived Vallier resumes his suit, already begun in Paris, and bends his wits towards inculcating jealousy in the heart of Madame de Larcey. It dawns upon her that her husband is very innocently flirting with Suzanne Dubreuil, but anyway, is she not positive of the fidelity of her husband? During a skating excursion, Jeanne de Larcey is the victim of an accident, and her friends run to get her husband, who has gone sleigh riding with Suzanne and a few friends. The doctor being called, declares that it will be necessary for her to remain absolutely quiet during four weeks. Everyone remains with Jeanne, but she does not wish to deprive her friends of the good hours or pleasure afforded by long promenades in the snow, racing and chasing on skates, etc., so she remains alone with Charles Vallier, who keeps her company. Naturally, he uses this tete-a-tete to advantage, and proceeds to excite the jealousy of the young woman. He forces her to look out of a window, over-looking an interior gallery of the hotel, and there he sees Mr. de Larcey and Suzanne closely seated on a sofa and engaged in conversation. It is enough; Jeanne still persists in doubting, but the serpent has accomplished his task. Jeanne instinctively abhors Charles Vallier and expels him, remaining crying with rage, and vowing vengeance. Her husband received a letter, calling him to Paris, on an urgent matter. Charles Vallier. not daring to present himself before the young woman, decides to return to Paris also. Jeanne de Larcey is left alone with Suzanne to meditate vengeance, and will put into execution her well-matured plan. She brings one, who was once her friend, sleigh riding and having arrived at a certain point, Jeanne dismisses the guide, telling him to return home, and briskly seizes Suzanne around the body, throws her on the sled and, after tying her and expressing her hate, and desire of revenge, saying, "You won my husband; do not expect mercy from me." She precipitates the sled from the height of the mountain. Jeanne de Larcey is then maddened by the crime she has just committed, an irreparable crime, as the mountains do not pardon. But there is a God for the innocent. Suzanne did not die in the overthrow. A hunter found her inanimate on her sled, frozen and chilled with the cold. She is carried to the hotel, and then brought back to her father's at Paris, where, with vigilant care, she revives, and regains her health, little by little. Jeanne de Larcey has returned to Paris, and her husband shows her the article in the Journal, relating the accident. Then she can no longer control her feelings, so she does not hesitate to tell her husband that she is the guilty one, and the avenger of her outraged honor. He has deceived her, and she had revenged herself. But, when her husband pleads his innocence, she realizes she has been mistaken, and already "remorse" invades her troubled soul. She wants to go and beg Suzanne's pardon, but the latter refuses to see her. Jeanne is asked to confess what prompted her to commit such a crime, and she does so only with the assurance of Suzanne's pardon, thus showing lack of friendship has not been the cause of this awful tragedy. When Charles Vallier will come to see the convalescent girl, he will find near her bed all the old friends, reunited, and before their reproaches for his conduct, he will retire, his head bowed under the heavy responsibility of his villainous act.
