Le devoir et l'honneur (S)

There are two men in Pierre de Marsan, the physician who has sworn the Hippocratic Oath and the man of honor. It is the latter who reacts brutally when he discovers his wife in the arms of his friend André. But after shooting at the two-timer and injuring him seriously, the doctor in Pierre resurfaces. Realizing that if nothing is done André is doomed to die, de Marsan does his duty and rescues his rival's life. But, ultimately, it is the man of honor who regains the upper hand : de Marsan refuses to forgive his former friend. However, still in love with the one that cheated on him, he does not kick his wife out. She now has no other solution but to expiate her sins.
