The Baron d'Etraille witnesses a disturbing scene at a party between his own wife and another young man. D'Etraille decides that they have to separate, so he leaves the baroness and heads out on a long journey. He spends almost six years wandering around from one place to another, not knowing what is happening with his wife. Eventually, he returns to Paris but a month later he catches such a bad cough that he is sent to Nice for the rest of the winter. The Baron d'Etraille gets on the train to Nice and there he sees a gorgeous young woman who takes his breath away.
