The sudden death of a contractor at the beginning of a delicate operation plunges his wife and her daughter in the distress. Its associates intend themselves then to strip the two women, in their making believe that the projects of death are unrealizable and that it only remains to them to liquidate them at cheap price. The ruin of the family would be complete, if one of the " corbeaux" , an old man, did not entichait himself of the young girl: this one is seen forced to marry it to restore the situation. At the end of the part, the day before the marriage, he concludes by these words: " You are surrounded rascals, my child, since the death of your père."
