Among the latest scheduled for execution are the Count de Tournay, former ambassador to Great Britain, and his family. However, one of the Scarlet Pimpernel's men visits them in prison disguised as a priest and gives them a message of hope. As the prisoners are being escorted to the cart to be taken to the guillotine, the guards take the count away; French leader Maximilien Robespierre wishes to question him further. The countess and her daughter are rescued and spirited away to England.

Au lendemain de la fusillade du Champ-de-Mars du 17 juillet 1791, des bateleurs entreprennent de jouer les principaux événements des deux années qui viennent de s’écouler : de la réunion des États généraux à la proclamation de la loi martiale, en passant par la prise de la Bastille, la Grande Peur, et la nuit du 4 août. Dans une grande liesse populaire, ils tentent de montrer le détournement des espoirs, l’explosion de la joie puis l’effondrement du rêve d’égalité des droits. Pour ce faire, les bateleurs utilisent toutes les formes théâtrales, de la pantomime à la tragédie, des marionnettes à l’opéra-bouffe. Ils représentent ainsi les personnages importants ou humbles de cette année décisive et prennent à leur compte la phrase de Saint-Just : « La révolution doit s’arrêter à la perfection du bonheur.

Fourteen-year-old Maria Antonia Josephina Johanna Habsburg (Kirsten Dunst) is the beautiful, charming, and naive archduchess of Austria, youngest of Empress Maria Theresa's (Marianne Faithfull) daughters. In 1770, the only one left unmarried among her sisters, she is sent by her mother to marry the Dauphin of France, the future Louis XVI of France (Jason Schwartzman), to seal an alliance between the two rival countries. Marie Antoinette travels to France, relinquishing all connections with her home country, including her pet Pug "Mops", and meets the King Louis XV of France (Rip Torn) and her future husband, Louis Auguste. The two arrive at the Palace of Versailles, which was built by the King's great-grandfather. They are married at once, and are encouraged to produce an heir to the throne as soon as possible; but the next day it is reported to the king that "nothing happened" on the wedding night.
