The Caillaux Drama details the events surrounding the trial of Henriette Caillaux (1874-1943), a Parisian socialite and second wife of the former Prime Minister of France, for the murder of newspaper editor Gaston Calmette, who was a severe critic of Caillaux's husband. She was defended by the prominent attorney Fernand Labori who convinced the jury that her crime, which she did not deny, was not a premeditated act but that her uncontrollable female emotions resulted in a crime of passion. With male beliefs that women were not as strong emotionally as men, on 28 July 1914, Madame Caillaux was acquitted.
