Synopsis
As the train carrying the Duke de St. Maclou is leaving the Gare du Nord, a beautiful, veiled woman enters his compartment, informs him that she has just murdered a man to protect her honor, and begs him for help. A detective arrives moments later, and the duke pretends that the veiled lady is his wife. The detective stays on the train, and the duke and his "duchess," Hortense, are forced to continue the deception. Arriving at his chateau, they are greeted as man and wife, and the duke must invent an argument with his "bride" to provide an excuse for not sharing the bridal suite with her. The detective arrives the next day and, identifying Hortense, informs the worried duke that she is wanted only as a witness in a case pending in civil court. Hortense is allowed to remain in the duke's custody, and he decides to make her his duchess in fact.
