Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] Eugene de Rastagnic, an impoverished artist loves Victorine Tallefer, an abandoned girl who stays at the same boarding house in Paris, but because of a lack of money turns away from her. They comfort Frederic Tallefer, an old man who also boards at the same place, and who gives all of his money to his two daughters who live in comfort. Eugene meets Delphine, one of the man's libertine daughters, and becomes infatuated with her. Vautrin, a man of mystery at the boarding house, makes the abandoned girl’s father, who hates her because her mother deserted him, take her back. Several interesting incidents occur because of the actions of Vautrin, who seems to find ways to resolve the problems of the boarding house residents. The artist Eugene finally realizes that he loves Victorine and they are reunited.
