A scheming nobleman, the Comte de Gonzague, plots against his cousin, the Duc de Nevers, by keeping his bastard child a secret. The Duke discovers his child and journeys to marry the mother, but they are brutally murdered by the Count and his men. The only survivors are the Duke's friend, Lagardère, and the infant, a girl who becomes the rightful heiress to the Duke's fortune. Twenty years pass, and the Count seeks to have them killed, but Lagardère gains his trust by disguising himself as a hunchback and becomes his bookkeeper.
