Not quite: Vivian, aware of his charm, does not lack courtisans. These do not know his worrying material situation: ruined though always owner of the estate and, above all, pregnant. Everything turns on the day when Vivian finally receives news of her husband who is going to join him in South America where Lord Hasting would have discovered the mythical treasure of Guayanacapac!
