Having been widowed for the sixth time Count Amédée de
Safère – nicknamed Barbe-Bleue – wastes no time looking for wife
number seven. Unfortunately, the Count’s matrimonial
intentions are blighted by the fact that most of the girls in the
locality are afraid him because of his reputation as a tyrant and
murderer. The only girl who is not put off by these rumours is
Aline, the daughter of the local tavern owner. One day,
Barbe-Bleue holds a grand ball at his castle so that he can choose a
new wife. Aline is so eager to meet the Count that she agrees to
take the place of another girl at the ball. The moment he sees
Aline for the first time, the Count falls for her charms, and the next
day he is asking for her hand in marriage. One day, whilst the
Count is away attending a hunt, Aline decides to explore the chateau,
curious to know what became of the previous six wives...
