Lescaut, a soldier, who is a rollicking good fellow, fond of his glass, receives from his father a message that his sister Manon will arrive in Paris the following day, and requests him to meet her and look after her welfare. In the midst of a round of gaiety Lescaut fails to meet her, and she, arriving without friends, is at a loss what to do, until Des Grieux comes forward and offers to be her escort. They full violently in love with one another, and it is not until some days later that she meets her brother when promenading in the fashionable Place Vendome. A marquis, the friend of her brother, is introduced and he in turn also falls deeply in love with her. This marquis is a man of great power, and her brother's patron, and in order to remove her from the influence of Des Grieux he has the latter kidnapped and placed in a monastery. Manon then, fickle as all women, agrees to marry the marquis. Meantime Des Grieux has taken holy orders, and Manon, reading one day that he is to deliver his first sermon at St. Peter's attends, and afterward congratulates him in the vestry. Their old love refuses to be smothered, and the marquis finding them together uses his influence and has Manon deported.
