The film begins on an incredible scene: Conan Bécher, the inquisitor monk who pleaded against the count of Peyrac, accusing him of witchcraft and condemning him to the flames of the Place de Greve, is pursued in Paris by bandits who drag him in the den of Calembredaine, aka Nicolas. A pyre was prepared for him to avenge the death of Joffrey; but Beaker, terrified by the idea of the execution he is promised, dies on the spot, leaving his executioners arms dangling, who, to forget their frustration, hasten to celebrate his death in alcohol. {full_page}
While all the bandits feast, Angelique languishes in her luxurious room. Nicolas joins her, and failing to make him pass his melancholy, rather tries his luck; Angelique finally yields, ruminating, however, her vengeance against all those who have done her misfortune.
Calembredaine and all her band are very caring with their marchioness, which is not the taste of Polak, a jealous prostitute, who stirs a little general discontent against her. When Angelique diverts a dog well known to her during a flight from Barcarole (a dwarf of the Calembredaine troop), her rival takes advantage of this opportunity to enjoin Nicolas to get rid of her, under the pretext that she Fricote with the police: indeed, the dog she knew how to calm is none other than Sorbonne, the dog of François Desgrez, the lawyer of Joffrey, become policeman.
Angelique explains this knowledge, but she did not go unnoticed: the Grand Coërse, rival bandit of Calembredaine, sends one of his emissaries to look for Angelique so that she explains her acquaintances with the police, cheating eyes of those brigands who estimate their pact of more or less non-aggression concluded with Calembredaine as broken. Nicolas chooses instead to fight against the emissary. After a fight in which he is a loser, the envoy of Grand Coërse makes the situation stand out and proposes to his chief a revenge: they would ally themselves with the police to ambush the band of Calembredaine at the next festival.
As all popular Paris hastens to participate in the festival where actors and other artists demonstrate their arts, Nicolas escapes the dagger of the emissary of Coërse and then engages his people in a battle between the two clans, until that the police arrive with reinforcements. He then escapes with Angelique, but does not escape the bullet of one of the policemen, and dies in the arms of Angélique.
Meanwhile, Grand Coërse robbed Calembredaine's hideout, kidnapping children and wealth, and letting the police catch the prostitutes there and punish them. As the captain of the guard (completely drunk) seeks to take advantage of Angelique's charms, she asks her permission to pick up her children with the help of her police officers, and promises that she will then return her favors. She recovers her two sons from the bohemians who had sold the youngest, and then entrusts them to the innkeeper of "Coq hardi".
Angelique, in a moment of reverie, later makes the acquaintance of an amiable young man, who presents himself as the Wind, but is better known under the name of Muddy Poet. He writes pamphlets and is wanted by the police.
Angelique takes the Rooster Hardi she calls "The Red Mask" and thrives this modest hostel, which quickly becomes a place chic and famous. One evening, a dozen masked and drunken courtiers seized Linot, a boy whom Angelique had taken under his wing after the defeat of the Calembredaine clan, and sought to sacrifice him. A duel commences between two courtiers, including the Marquis de Plessis-Bellières (cousin of Angélique), who refuses this immolation. However, one of them kills the child, the assassin then revealing himself to be the king's brother. Angelique will soon chase them away, but the bottles they have thrown into the fire soon turn the little tavern into a fire. Angelique lost everything again, and that was the fault of the same courtiers who had sworn her loss before, involved in the conspiracy against the king and that she alone could denounce.
In revenge, Angelique decides to reveal by successive pamphlets (carefully written by the muddy Poet) the names of the courtiers responsible for the fire of her inn and accomplices of the death of Linot; the whole of Paris follows these accusations, which soon alarm the king, who recognizes the grandees of the court and the friends of his brother. Fearing that these pamphlets denounce his brother as the murderer of the child, he offers through François Desgrez money and many benefits to Angélique so that she is silent and realizes her dream: to found a chocolate factory . Later, the muddy Poet will be caught and hanged on Sir's orders, which Angelique feels responsible.
Her chocolate factory quickly becomes a fashionable place and makes Angelique rich and prosperous. However, the beautiful caresses a bigger dream: she dreams of returning to the Court and regaining a title of nobility. This ambition quickly gravitates around his cousin the Marquis de Plessis-Bellières, whom she wants to marry. He confesses that he wants to sell the family property, where he grew up and where he knew his cousin: Angelique decides to buy it to offer him as a wedding gift. After many disputes, Angelique is again threatened by the conspirators who, after the arrest of Fouquet, fear being dragged into his fall, because they had concluded with him the pact to kill the king, which had prevented Angelic.
They swear his death, but the Marquis de Plessis-Bellières instead offers to get the cassette (evidence of their plot) that had been hidden in the family property, where took refuge Angelique. She offers him a market: the cassette against his hand. But when passing before the notary to specify the marriage act, she changed her mind and fled, while her cousin removed the cassette in a nearby pond. [wide]
Back in Paris, Angélique is invited (convened, it must be said) as Sancé de Monteloup at the king's promenade, where his cousin presents it to Louis XIV and asks the monarch his blessing for their marriage. Thus stuck, Angelica is forced to marry her cousin, an idea that finally delighted her. For a moment, the King seemed to recognize the Countess de Peyrac, but finally changed her mind, and blessed the bride and groom.
