Synopsis
Sur un canal, une péniche, à son bord Gudule une enfant solitaire, son père marinier, et l'oncle Jeff. Le père se noie, et Gudule n'a plus pour seule famille que son oncle. L'oncle est une brute qui dilapide l'héritage de sa nièce et tente de la violer. Gudule s'enfuit et se réfugie auprès de deux bohémiens : un jeune braconnier, « la Fouine », et sa mère, la Roussette. Mais « la Fouine », par ses mauvais coups, provoque la colère des paysans des alentours, qui brûlent la roulotte familiale. Gudule, en se sauvant, fait une chute dans une carrière, s'endort à bout de force et s'enfonce dans un étrange rêve. Georges Raynal, fils d'un propriétaire terrien de la région, la recueille et la fait engager chez ses parents. Le misérable oncle Jeff retrouve Gudule et lui extorque de l'argent qu'elle est obligée de voler à Georges. Georges comprend tout, parvient à rosser Jeff et le jette à la rivière. Les deux jeunes gens peuvent partir ensemble vers un avenir prometteur.Actors
