Sinopse
França, 1719. O rei é Luís XV, bisneto e sucessor de Luís XIV. Sendo menor de idade, a regência é conduzida por seu tio-avô Philippe d'Orleans, o duque de Orleans, notório debochado, cercado por um bando de prostitutas e aproveitadores iludidos. Na Bretanha, o marquês de Pontcallec fomentou um complô para derrubar o duque em favor do rei Filipe V de Espanha, neto de Luís XIV e tio do jovem soberano. Ele espera restaurar sua independência para a Grã-Bretanha - libertando-a de seus deveres de vassalo para o poder parisiense - e para proclamar a república. O abade Dubois, complacente primeiro-ministro do regente e manipulador ambicioso, é responsável por acabar com a conspiração enquanto a usa para satisfazer suas próprias ambições.
