Sculptor, Raymond Corbier has a formidable woman, Sylvia. It adores it. To save an impassioned admiror who simulates a suicide because it does not answer its advances, Sylvia, irreproachable wife, are obliged to lie for the first time at Raymond. This small lie will put in great danger their happiness. Convinced that Sylvia misleads it with Francis Germain, Raymond declares himself insane in love with Marguerite, the very inaccurate wife of his best friend Gaston Rival.

At the time of a masked ball, Raymond and Sylvia will reconcile themselves tenderly whereas Gaston understands his misfortune.
