À la pension Muche, Topaze est un instituteur chahuté par ses élèves qui exploitent sa naïveté. Sur les murs de sa classe s'affichent des sentences définitives comme « L'argent ne fait pas le bonheur » ou « Bien mal acquis ne profite jamais » . Il enseigne et applique rigoureusement ces principes, refusant d'augmenter les notes d'un élève contre rétribution pour contenter une mère influente dans la pension, se mettant ainsi à dos le directeur. Cela contrarie aussi grandement ses espoirs d'avenir avec Ernestine, la fille du directeur dont il est secrètement amoureux. Appliquant une méthode de séduction d'Ernestine désastreuse conseillée maladroitement par un collègue, il déclenche un scandale qui le fait licencier sur-le-champ.

Ottilie Van Zandt is forced to wed her cousin, despite her love for Richard Wayne, the gardener's son. Richard leaves, vowing to return a wealthy man and eligible suitor for her. He returns to find she has already married and, in turn, marries another girl on impulse. Two generations later, the grandchildren of Ottilie and Richard, who both have inherited their names as well, meet and develop a close friendship that culminates in the romance that their grandparents began but could not consummate years before.
