According to his will, she should marry the disfigured but rich Count Jeoffrey de Peyrac. After initial reluctance, she falls in love with him and is horrified when he is accused of witchcraft and sentenced to death at the stake because of the intrigues of the clergy and the court surrounding King Louis XIV . From now on, she only lives to avenge her husband's death.

Reviews
“Love story from the royal era of the 17th century, based on a successful bestseller; the adventurous-erotic conversation is clumsy, told with almost stupid seriousness and consciously distorts the social background. "
"Inexpensive film adaptation of the novel, tailored to show effects and flat in the background drawing. Unsuitable for young people and hardly recommended for adults. "
