Thanks to a recovered childhood locket, Diane reunites with her long-lost daughter, while Henriette marries the noble knight Roger de Vaudrey.

"Max quarrels so with his wife that the lady leaves him. Our hero then attempts to do his own cooking, etc. He buys a fowl, but it proves to be still alive, and after he has chased it with a revolver, partly plucked it, shaved and finally half-roasted it, the bird is still alive and wings its way off. Max next turns his attention to blacking his boots, upsets the liquid blacking, spoons it up, and a minute later is using the same spoon to stir the broth. He writes for his wife to return home, but soon after sending the letter hears he is heir to a large fortune, and lives in the seventh heaven of delight - until his wife returns." (The Bioscope, Feb. 15, 1912)

Yet another film adaptation of the renown 1874 French play "The Two Orphans" (Les Deux Orphelines) by Adolphe d'Ennery and Eugène Cormon, about two adoptive sisters who are violently separated upon arriving to Paris during the outbreak of the French Revolution.
