Synopsis
At an auction of the possessions of the dead Marguerite Gautier, Armand, her lover, bids on her diary and portrait; the spirit of Camille glides to the portrait, opens the diary, and bids him read. ... In the Paris glove shop of Prudence Duvernoy, Marguerite, a clerk infatuated with the Count de Varville, becomes a courtesan; a year later she lives in luxury and shuffles her admirers like a pack of cards, accepting or dismissing attentions at her will. While at the opera with a wealthy old duke, she meets Armand, who leaves the theater when he learns of her profession, though he is as passionately involved as Camille. They are reunited at a party and make a rendezvous, which is rudely interrupted by the count. They retire to the country together, but at the request of Armand's father Camille leaves her lover and dies lonely and unhappy.
