Ayant miraculeusement échappé à la mort, Andréa reparaît. Aveugle et défiguré mais apparemment sans rancune, il se réconcilie avec Rocambole. En fait, son but est de rentrer en possession de la confession qu'il fit jadis signer à son protégé pour avoir prise sur lui. Lorsqu'il se rend compte de son manège, Rocambole se débarrasse définitivement d'Andréa. Mais c'est Venture qui s'empare du papier compromettant et va le porter à Baccarat. Celle-ci dénonce Rocambole au secrétaire de l'ambassade d'Italie et suggère de confronter l'imposteur à sa mère.

At 18, the beautiful and intelligent Kira comes to Petersburg as the Communists consolidate power. She rebuffs a cousin who rises in the Party and may remember the slight. She falls in love with Leo, the son of an aristocrat, who gets into political trouble and never gets out.

A wealthy widow becomes infatuated with an adventurer posing as a poet and, forgetting her responsibilities as a mother and her no longer young age, falls prey to a love frenzy in her family that puts her at odds with her daughter, who has just left boarding school, and her own brother, who is all about scientific research. The girl, who has learned of the alleged poet's less-than-honest intentions, tries every means to drive him away and restore her mother's sentimental balance. For this she pretends to be in love with him who, attracted by her youth and rich dowry, proposes that she elope.
