Daniel Druce, the business manager of the estate, is in charge of the fortune, which is to be settled on an heir. Gallard finds Sylvia and his gambling expensive, and decides to adopt a baby and call it his own, in the hope of getting the fortune by his natural guardianship of the heir. The wife and Druce are rapidly falling in love with each other and for a settlement Gallard otters to get a divorce.
