PLOT

Paul, the son of an innocent man convicted of murder, has found a job as secretary to the owner of a major American publishing house. Nevertheless, although the tycoon has adopted Paul as if he was his own son, he refuses him the hand of his biological daughter in marriage, since he believes that Paul may have inherited the traits of his father, the alleged murderer. When it comes to a theft, the tycoon sees his worst fears confirmed and throws his adoptive son out of his villa. Paul breaks all bridges behind him and travels the world as a newspaper correspondent. This takes him to primeval forests and steppes. In one of the distant regions, he can also immediately investigate the evidence of his innocence. The happy ending finally becomes perfect as the tycoon's brother turns out to be a true murderer and Paul's father is finally released. The motive then: jealousy. The rogue takes his life, and Paul gets the tycoon's daughter to be his wife.
