action
After the execution of her husband, Jeoffrey de Peyrac, Angélique finds refuge with crooks at the “Court of Miracles”. It turns out that the gang leader Calembredaine is their childhood friend Nicolas. With his help, Angélique finds her children again, who were taken from her after Count Peyrac was arrested. After a fight between two rival gangs of crooks, Calembredaine is shot, Angélique is arrested and taken to Châtelet . There she asks the captain to let her go in order to save her children from the violence of the crooks. She promises to come back and spend the night with him, to which he agrees. Angélique manages to free her children from the clutches of the Great Coësre. She takes her to Barbe, who is supposed to watch out until Angélique has paid her debt to the Capitaine des Châtelet. In the Châtelet the captain tries to kiss her, but Angélique defends herself and is able to flee.
Barbe works in a rundown inn where Angélique and her children find shelter. Soon she was able to convince the owner Maître Bourjus to renovate the inn. Under the new name The Red Mask , the inn soon became a success and also attracted high-ranking guests. One day Angélique meets her old enemy there, Monsieur , the king's brother, accompanied by his nobles. The aristocratic troops set fire to the inn in an alcohol mood and Angélique swears vengeance. With the help of the filthy poet, she wrote pamphlets that were distributed in Paris and gradually revealed the aristocratic arsonists. The king then sends his best policeman to her, Desgrez, the former lawyer of Jeoffrey de Peyrac. He promises her a license to serve chocolate in Paris and 50,000 livres as compensation for the loss of the inn on the condition that the filthy poet stops distributing the pamphlets. So the name of the king's brother should not come out in public in this affair.
In her new restaurant, Angélique meets her cousin Philippe de Plessis-Bellières again. They are having an affair, but Angelique wants him to marry her. So she blackmailed him with an old secret in which Philippe's father and several aristocrats were involved. In her youth, Angélique witnessed a plot by Prince Condé against the king that was about to be poisoned. Angélique had hidden the poison bottle at the time. Eventually, Philippe was forced to marry her and introduced his wife to the court of Versailles.

Reviews
“Drunk costume rubbish. A long-running hit at the beginning of the 60s, now just a gap filler. "
“Smoothest colportage, aimed only at beautiful and effective pictures. Unsuitable for young people because of many brutalities and without any recommendation for adults. "
