Vincent Stanton, his partner, discovered that the dead man had been misappropriating the funds of the firm for some time past and that nearly all his own carefully saved fortune must be sacrificed to save the honor of the firm. His first impulse on learning that he was ruined was to end everything with a revolver. On second thought he decided to have one last fling on the continent with the little he had left before putting an end to an unbearable existence. On the train to Dover Stanton found himself in the same apartment with a wonderfully beautiful girl and a man, evidently a French nobleman. Stanton looked the pair over with some curiosity and then put them out of his mind altogether until the next evening when he looked up from the roulette table at Biarritz and saw the Frenchman seated directly opposite him. The men nodded to each other in recognition and after the play had stopped, entered into a conversation which ended in the Frenchman, who introduced himself as the Chevalier de Maupert, inviting Stanton to dinner at his chateau. After dinner as Stanton waited for his cab, a note was thrown to him from an upper window of the chateau. It was from the girl he had seen on the train and boat, Lady Angela Carruthers. Believing that the Chevalier hated her for herself alone, she had fled with him from England to be married to him when they reached his chateau. After her arrival the Chevalier informed her that she must give him a marriage settlement of one hundred thousand pounds. When she refused, he locked her in her room, informing her that the next day he would take her to his Ardennes estate, where she would soon find she would not be able to withstand his will. Stanton, learning of his pretty countrywoman's danger, took the first step toward her rescue by bribing the Chevalier's chauffeur. The next morning when the Chevalier started on his long journey with Angela, the car unaccountably broke down before a wayside inn. Stanton arriving a few moments later, took the girl in his car and rushed on down the road pursued by the vengeful Chevalier. An exciting chase followed which was finally terminated by a providential drawbridge which stopped the Cheyalier while Stanton and the girl continued on their way to England and happiness.
