In pre-revolutionary France, Nicolas Philibert kills a noble who was too friendly with his wife, Charlotte, and flees to South Carolina, where he thrives and hopes to marry a wealthy plantation owner’s daughter. To do this, he must return to France to obtain a divorce, since the new French Republic has legalized it. On landing at Nantes in 1793, as the Reign of Terror rages, he is arrested by the authorities. Taken to a republican ceremony in the cathedral, he saves a royalist girl, Pauline de Géran, and escapes with her to an isolated castle. There he finds Charlotte, who presents herself as a widow, and is joined by Pauline’s brother Henri.
