Angleterre, début du XIX siècle. Sir Paul Deverill, aristocrate débauché et ruiné par le jeu, est sur le point d'épouser sans amour Vanessa, une jeune femme de son rang, issue d'une famille encore prospère. Or, il fait la connaissance de Belle, une bohémienne qu'il rencontre dans une foire et vers laquelle il se sent irrémédiablement attiré. Belle, dupée par les apparences et par le faste de sa demeure, le croit immensément riche. Elle l'épouse avec l'arrière-pensée de s'emparer de sa fortune. Elle agit avec la complicité de son amant, Jess. Belle ne tarde pourtant pas à apprendre, par la bouche de Sarah, la sœur de Paul Deverill, la véritable situation financière de son époux. Profitant du décès de la tante de Sarah, et agissant de concert avec un notaire malhonnête, elle falsifie le contenu du testament qui devrait permettre à Sarah d'hériter avant sa majorité. Sarah, à la faveur d'un incident, découvre toutefois l'original du testament. C'est alors qu'elle est d'abord kidnappée, puis, plus tard, enlevée et séquestrée dans une clinique psychiatrique.
