Jealousy

剧情简介

Jules Leroux, a wealthy hanker, lived in Paris with his three daughters, Alice, Jeanne, and Helen. Alice was engaged to be married to Robert Durand, but owing to her father losing most of his money in a bank failure, her fiancé broke the engagement. Leroux was compelled to retire to his country estate, where he took up his residence with the three girls. One day, while Helen was on a jaunt on horseback, she encountered the Marquis de la Tour, who was smitten by her beauty. He sought an introduction to her and after a short courtship, succeeded in winning her. Helen's good fortune only served to arouse pangs of jealousy in her sister, Alice, who had been jilted. About this time a young nobleman, Raoul de Gordes, became a frequent visitor at Leroux's home and paid homage to the unmarried sisters, Jeanne and Alice. But the former's charms gradually won him and he fell a victim to Cupid's wiles.
