Losing money at an alarming rate, Felix Ducotel's general store in the French penal colony is soon to be closed by Henri Trochard, the prototype of a heartless capitalist. To add insult to bankruptcy, Ducotel's daughter is hopelessly in love with Trochard's nephew, who can only marry on the pain of disinheritance.
