Despite the doctor's attempts to thwart her, Ursula grows into a strong and intelligent young woman who is determined to make her own way in the world. Along the way, she encounters a variety of characters, including a kind-hearted lawyer named Savinien who falls in love with her, and a vengeful cousin who seeks to destroy her.
