Lorsqu’elle découvre fortuitement que Mario a déserté durant la guerre et lui a dissimulé sa véritable identité, elle se sent à nouveau trahie et ne veut plus vivre avec lui. Mario n’aura alors de cesse d’obtenir le recours en grâce de Germaine qu’en faisant amende honorable auprès de la justice, mais son évasion durant le procès compromettra son retour à la bien-aimée qui lui accordera sa grâce en pure perte.
