简要：Claudie is a young French woman who inherited her uncle's property in Algeria, which greatly disappointed her scheming cousins Diane and Manuel. On the ferry, she met and fell in love with Pierre, an idle young man who squandered his inheritance and was on the way to beg from Christian, his wealthy but rude uncle who owned a farm near Claudia. As a condition of the loan, Christian made Pierre work on a farm, and Pierre quickly became a different person and proposed to Claudie. But when his Arab friend Zoubir invited Europeans to a hunting party, Diane and Manuel saw their opportunity to confront their cousins.
