Pierre is a young and handsome circus rider whose mother has long tolerated his amorous adventures but becomes genuinely concerned when he actually falls in love. She reveals to him that he's the son of a wealthy man, whom she could not marry because of the circus life.

But his ambition seems to take its toll on all his relationships, and he seems unaware that he is over-reaching himself...
