Jeanette's evil stepmother has been tormenting her for years, making her into the laughingstock of high society.

Eager to start her life anew, she decides to call off her engagement to Count Claus Guivarch; rumor has it that the young man is being forced into this marriage to clear his family's debt, and Jeanette wants to set him free. But to her surprise, the gentleman has other plans—he refuses to break up, and even offers to help her reclaim her father's corporation.
