The carefree squandering of Baron Inokay's wealth, the steward Gáspár Borly - who is called "the old scoundrel" behind his back - is rumored to have been stealing from the Baron's family for years and has amassed a large fortune. Baroness Mária Inokay, who was raised in Vienna and is destined to be Count Balassa, returns home. However, Mária loves her childhood playmate, Gáspár Borly's grandson. Old Borly is eventually convicted of the theft, but his will reveals that he only saved what he could and left all the valuables he had embezzled to Mária. After this, nothing can stand in the way of their previously seemingly hopeless love.
