In 1756, a masked ball at the Dresden Palais, hosted by Saxon Minister Hubert von Meyerinck Heinrich von Brühl, serves as cover for confidential talks with envoys from Austria, Russia and France aimed at conspiring against Prussia’s King Otto Gebühr Friedrich II. The Prussian envoy, Hans Rehmann von Lindeneck, sees through the ruse and carries a copy of the concluded secret treaty to the king.
Friedrich consults with his generals, who urge caution. Initially stunned by the conspiracy, Friedrich develops a plan. To execute it, he sends von Lindeneck back to Dresden. But Lindeneck is reluctant, fearing for his wife, Renate Müller von Lindeneck, and doubting Blanche’s fidelity. Still, loyalty to the king ultimately prevails, and he carries out the orders.
