Alexis, a young Englishman recently expelled from school, enlists in the army. He falls in love with a beautiful French actress named Rose Vibert, who later abandons him to marry his uncle, an older, more learned man named Sir George Dillingham. Years later, Alexis returns to George and Rose's lives and meets their 13-year-old daughter, Jenny. As Jenny spends more time with Alexis, she falls madly in love with him. After George dies from a heart attack, Alexis meets and falls in love with Giulietta, who was George's lover before Rose.
