Delort, one of Napoleon's trusted officers, is allowed to retain his office after the Emperor's downfall. He gives a reception to the officials of the new administration, and their wives, which reception is attended by the Attorney of the new ruler. The Colonel discovers the latter paying attention to his wife, whom he orders out of the room, and challenges the other to a duel to death, to which the Attorney agrees. Before this duel, the Attorney receives a letter from the King ordering the arrest of Delort for conspiracy. He gives orders to his men, and the Colonel is brought before him. Delort sneeringly accuses the Attorney for cowardice. The insult rankles, and the Attorney signs an order for the release of his antagonist, and meeting him, tells him that he has betrayed his duty by doing so, but that he can now fight him. An impressive scene shows the meeting in the early morning. The first shot wounds the Colonel fatally, and he sinks to the ground, but demands a second shot, and with this, kills his rival. The wife rushes to the spot, to find both men dead. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
