À Paris, à la sortie d'une soirée à l'opéra, le vieux et compassé docteur Faust est abordé par un certain M. Léon, énigmatique et élégant individu qui, un peu plus tôt, était en train de dealer à des chanteurs de l'opéra. M. Léon lui offre une cigarette, et bien qu'il ne fume jamais, Faust l'accepte et, stupéfait, s'aperçoit qu'elle brûle sans se consumer. Comme sous l'emprise d'un charme, Faust suit l'étrange personnage au cabaret Pigall's où, encore une fois, il faillit à ses habitudes en consommant l'alcool que lui propose M. Léon.
