I Protected a Woman

Résumés(1)

At a pub, Bory Péter rises to protect an unknown woman, Mrs. Bakos, insulted by her jealous husband. The event develops into a press-gossip, where nobody believes that Péter had not formerly known the woman. The husband challenges Péter in a dual, where he is injured by his sword. Maca is irritated by Péter's persevering negation, and at the court hearing of their divorce suit, she testifies to having been formerly wooed by him. Nobody believes Péter, and even his friends advice him that it is his duty to defend the woman's honour. Also the lawyer's wife does her best to make the match between them, and in the end Péter proposes to Maca. (texte officiel du distributeur)
