A poor tailor and his wife buys a lottery ticket and dream of what to do if they win.

After the respectable Dr. Monro was found dead, the housekeeper and two engineers testify in court. A case of commercial delinquency and bribery is reconstructed on that occasion. Sadly only about half the film exists today.

A political election is coming up, in which Governor van Wieten is challenged by the liberal party's William Thompson, a newspaper editor. Thompson also happens to be engaged to van Wieten's daughter, Ilka. To make matters even more complicated, Thompson is suspected of stealing money from his party.

The story is that of a conniving countess coming between a gay sculptor, Claude Zoret, and his bisexual model and lover, Mikaël, ultimately leading to Zoret's death in a raging storm at the base of a statue of Mikaël as the mythological Icarus. The film is missing 19 minutes of run time.
