Synopsis

When her father dies, Beatrix decides to collect the gambling debts owed to him. However, several of his former card playing partners plead poverty to get out of their obligations, but she is very persistent. She meets and likes Franz, the student son of one of the debtors who she believes is penniless. In fact, he is very wealthy, and a sophisticated fortune hunter, Livia, has her eyes on him. Beatrix sets out to thwart Livia and secure Franz for herself.
