Love Watches

Glamorous and wealthy French woman Jacqueline Cartaret considers marrying Ernest Augarde, the harmless bookworm who adores her, but finally selects a dashing count, Andre De Juvigny. Lucia De Morfontaine, a beautiful widow who had an affair with Andre before his marriage, still loves the handsome count and pursues him so ardently that Jacqueline soon becomes convinced of her husband's unfaithfulness. Piqued, Jacqueline rushes to Ernest, who, although he is loved by Charlotte Bernier, receives her with delight. When he tries to kiss her, however, Jacqueline slaps him and returns home. Andre demands to know her lover's name, but when he learns that it is Ernest, he laughs and embraces his wife. Ernest now realizes his love for Charlotte and proposes to her.
