Monsieur Grandet (Carmet) was a very rich but very stingy man. His wife (Dominique Labourier) and his daughter Eugénie (Alexandra London) live a quiet, joyless existence.

The local families Des Grassins and Cruchot want to marry their sons to Eugénie. On her 23rd birthday, Lucienne des Grassins (Claude Jade) triumphed about the success of her son Adolphe (Olivier Delor) at the heiress, arrives Charles (Jean-Claude Adelin), Eugenie's cousin to visit at his uncle; he has no idea that his father is dead by suicide after his bankruptcy. Eugénie and her cousin fall in love, and the unworldly girl felt for the first time the wild joy of passion. But her father, who has no idea, does not intend to keep the useless eaters in the house, and sends Charles without a sou to India. First, however, Eugénie lends him her coin collection, which her father had given her for her birthday.
