Lisbeth Fischer, surnommée la cousine Bette est appelée à Paris par Adeline Hulot (sa cousine), femme admirable qui supporte les infidélités de son vieux mari le baron Hulot, libertin éperdu. Aigrie, laide, sèche, maladivement jalouse d’Adeline et de sa beauté, Lisbeth s’acharnera au malheur de la baronne Hulot et de sa fille Hortense. Celle-ci a épousé le comte Wenceslas Steinbock, un réfugié livonien (polonais), orfèvre de métier, dont la Cousine Bette prétendait qu’il était son « amoureux » car elle lui avait porté secours.

"Paris in the 1840's. A tale of lust and money. One man destroys himself through his own unbridled sexual behavior -- and nearly destroys his whole family. The wife is a saint, the husband is a cad. Meanwhile a relative (Bette) is out for revenge. There's even a murder! Good reading from a classic French author."
