A rich sugar factory manager wants to marry his daughter to an aristocrat, while the young girl is in love with an engineer, employed in a rival company.

Charles Prince is Rigadin, a wealthy young man who is in love. He calls upon the lady and her parents, and is charming, going into transports of rapture at her piano playing and leaves. What no one realizes is that he has a double -- also played by Prince -- who is a cobbler's assistant, delivering some shoes.
