Summary La danse héroïque (1914)

Lieutenant (Navy) René Stroffer has developed an amorous passion for Gaby des Roses, a dancer loved and adored by the crowd. Gaby is flattered by the love of the young man and does not remain insensitive to him. As for Lucille, René's fiancée now neglected by him, she feels forsaken and miserable. After signing for an American tour, Gaby chooses to travel on the transatlantic liner Jupiter because René is an officer on board. But the ship is commanded by Captain Stroffer, René's father, who strongly disapproves of his son's affair with Gaby... During the crossing, one evening at dinner time, a fire starts in the hold and soon spreads and becomes menacing. Captain Stroffer wants at all costs to prevent panic among the passengers. René has an inspiration: he asks Gaby to dance for them until danger is no longer any danger...

Wallace Summers, first mate on his father's steamship, Jupiter, is engaged to Ethel Richards, who is residing in France with her father. On a trip abroad while the Jupiter is in port, Wallace takes a trip to Paris to visit his fiancée and her father. While there he attends a performance at a concert hall and is much impressed with the charms of the world famous dancer, Gaby de Rose. Attending the concert hall again and again, he finally makes an appointment to meet Gaby and falls desperately in love with her. On a succeeding trip to France he visits Gaby in her dressing room at the theater, where he discovers several passionate love notes, evidently written by other suitors. These notes arouse terrible jealousy in Wallace's breast, resulting in a break with Gaby. Gaby is offered a very good engagement on the American continent, and seeing a way to bring about a reconciliation with Wallace, decides to go to America on his father's vessel, the Jupiter. On the voyage she becomes reconciled to Wallace. In mid-ocean a fire breaks out in the hold of the Jupiter and in order to allay the passengers' fears, Wallace persuades Gaby to perform one of her famous dances in the salon, thus preventing the passengers discovering that the vessel is on fire. After the fire is put out, Gaby is given the heartfelt gratitude of the captain and the passengers. Captain Summers, in the meantime, has had a message from Ethel saying she fears Wallace's affection for her has waned. Seeing the state of affairs the captain appeals to Gaby, who leaves the ship at the first port, deciding never to see Wallace again. Stricken with remorse and finally brought to a realization of the pain and suffering which he is causing his former sweetheart, Wallace decides to let Gaby go, and returns to his old affection for Ethel.
