Theresa determines to run away to Francé where she obtains a position as a Chef in the isolated Chateau of the Marquis de Sare. Deep in the lovely countryside of south-west Francé, delighted with the horses and the wild animals of the Marquis' priváté menagerie, she feels safe from her uncle and the attentions of fortune hunters.
Then the Marquis, bored with the pleasures of Paris, decides to visit his country estate. Contemptuous of women, he is used to breaking hearts but is himself untouchable. He represents everything that Theresa has learned to distrust and hate.
The Marquis is astonished on his arrival to find his hitherto ferocious tiger in the arms of a young girl. This is the beginning of what is to
be a passionate, unexpected love. Vissza
