Bernard, a promising composer is engaged to Hélène, but is jealous of her relationship with Professor d'Estérel who she assists. After an argument he goes out into heavy rain and falls ill.

To try and soften the last weeks of her life he pretends to romance her. Hélène also helps to support this act of kindness.
