There are three main characters in the film, Tess Durbey, a beautiful and innocent girl from a poor family; Yard Deborah, a wealthy and sloppy businessman; and Angel Claire, the son of a refined and handsome priest.
The father of a poor girl, Tess Durbey, suddenly discovered one day that his family was the direct descendant of the ancient nobleman Durbey. In order to bring a fortune to the family, he sends his daughter, Tess, to find a wealthy relative, Yad Deb. The pure and kind-hearted Tess, after being seduced by Yard D'Urber, left the D'Urber's house unswervingly. After returning to her own home, Tess gave birth to Deb's child.
The prejudice and public opinion in society overwhelmed Tess and her family. When the child died, Tess went to a distant cattle farm and worked as a milkmaid. In this cattle farm, she met Angel Claire, the son of a priest who is elegant, handsome, personable, and has an enlightened mind.
Claire was moved by Tess's beauty and innocence, and proposed to her several times; Tess had long been attracted to this handsome young man, but because of her past, she did not have the courage to agree to Claire's proposal. Tess wanted to tell Claire what happened to her several times, but she lacked courage and could not resist the ardent love in her heart. She pursued her passionately with Claire. In the end, Tess and Claire got married.
On the wedding night, when Claire told Tess that she once had a relationship with a rich woman, Tess expressed her forgiveness to Claire and told Claire what happened to her. However, Claire did not forgive her. The next day, Tess had to go back to her parents' house, and Claire went to Brazil.
Later, Tess's father died, and the Tess family lived on the streets. At this point, Deb came to Tess again, hoping that she would come back to him and that he would take good care of her and her family. Tess initially refused. She wrote to Claire, hoping that Claire would come back and forgive herself. However, Tess couldn't wait for Claire's words after all.
In the end, Tess, who was forced by life, had to return to Deborah's side. Deb took good care of her and her family. At this time, Claire came back. He frantically looked for Tess, and the moment Tess saw him, she was completely devastated. She believes that her tragedy was brought to her by Deborah. So she kills Deb, finds Clare, and escapes with him.
After five days on the run, Tess was arrested one quiet dawn. What awaits her is hanging.
Was it the bad guy Deb or the good guy Claire who killed Tess? From a simple poor girl to becoming a murderer, who caused Tess's tragedy?
The harm that Deb caused to Tess was direct and original; Claire's love gave Tess the courage to live again, but he killed Tess's courage in the cradle with his own hands. When Tess was desperate for life, he reappeared, causing Tess to collapse completely and do the craziest things.
These two men jointly caused Tess's tragedy, but it was her favorite Claire who hurt Tess the most.
