Patrice Mersault, a poor employee, meets a rich cripple, Zagreus, who introduces him to Marthe, their mutual mistress. Mersault kills Zagreus in circumstances that ensure his impunity and takes his fortune. He set off on a journey, visiting Prague and returning to Algiers via Genoa. There he lives happily in the company of three women in "La Maison devant le monde".
