Old Jolyon Forsyte dies, leaving a life interest in £ 15,000 to Irene, the beautiful but estranged wife of Soames Forsyte , the ' Man of Property.' Young Jolyon , a cousin and executor and himself attracted to Irene, breaks the news to her, and causes a fresh scandal among the older generation of the Forsytes.
Soames, having met an attractive
French girl, Annette, considers divorcing Irene, much against his better judgment.
Meanwhile he has to settle the affairs of his sister Winifred Dartie , whose husband has run off with a Spanish girl, taking with him his wife's pearls.
