Summary
In 1779, the Marquis de Montauran returns to France and becomes the
figurehead of a royalist uprising known as the Chouans. Their
Republican enemies recruit the aristocrat Marie de Verneuil to capture
the Marquis and thereby weaken the resolve of the Chouans.
Unfortunately, Marie falls in love with the Marquis and is prepared to
do anything so that she can marry him...
