In the French province of Brittany, there is a fierce armed counter-revolutionary uprising of the Shuans , aristocrats and clergy - by the Chuanery . By order of Joseph Foucher, Marie-Natalie de Verney is traveling from Paris - a former aristocrat, and now a fallen woman, a beautiful spy in the republican service. Arriving in Brittany, she should rely on the help of Koranten - an experienced, ambitious and unprincipled policeman. Marie has the task of seducing and capturing the leader of the Shuans - the Marquis de Montoran, the envoy of the king, who had recently arrived in Brittany from England . Waiting in the inn for a large sum of money to come from the UK, the Marquis de Montoran meets Marie de Verneuil and offers to accompany her to Fougere . As he suggests, his hospitality provoked the Shuans to massacre. Madame du Ga, a royal aristocrat, widow of the executed on the guillotine , one of the most active and ferocious leaders of the Shuana movement, falls in love with the Marquise de Montorana.
