Fanny von Berg, daughter of a wealthy Viennese family, is betrothed to the aristocratic Count Maxim von Hurtig, but when she brings disgrace to her family by entering into an escapade to aid a girl in distress, the marriage is canceled. Her sister, Corinne, breaks off with Pauli Birbach as a result, and Fanny becomes an outcast of respectable society. Following the outbreak of war, she is aided by Gustav Schmidt, a dealer in war supplies and owner of a gambling establishment, and is able to give financial aid to her family, now in dire want. Count Maxim, while visiting the gambling resort, meets Fanny again, and his love triumphs over his scruples; but Fanny, at the plea of the count's mother, refuses his suit and finds happiness with Gustav. The Berg family, chastened by war, famine, and death, is again drawn together.
