L'armée prussienne est à bout. Complètement épuisée, elle est cernée dans son camp par les Autrichiens. Les soldats commencent peu à peu à se faire une raison, quand le roi découvre au cours d'une reconnaissance une trouée à travers laquelle les Prussiens pourront fuir. Il laisse seulement un petit régiment de hussards sous le commandement du capitaine von Bonin afin que les Autrichiens croient que les Prussiens sont encore dans le camp. Lorsque les Autrichiens du maréchal Daun se rendent compte qu'ils dominaient seulement des tentes vides, l'armée prussienne est déjà sur la route de Schweidnitz.

The film takes place in 1671. In the prelude to the Franco-Dutch War, a financially struggling Louis II de Bourbon, Prince de Condé is visited by King Louis XIV for three days of festivities at the Château de Chantilly.. The prince wants a commission as a general, and spares no expense in order to impress the king. In charge of organizing the event is François Vatel, Master of Festivities and Pleasures in the prince's household. Vatel is a man of great honor and talent, but of low birth. As the great Condé is prepared to do anything in his quest for stature, the tasks assigned to Vatel are often menial and dishonourable. While Vatel tries to sustain dignity amidst the extravaganza he is meant to orchestrate, he finds himself in love with Anne de Montausier, the king's latest lover, who returns his affections. However, due to their incompatible social standing and the rigid hierarchy of the court, continuing the liaison is clearly impossible. The movie ends with Vatel realizing that he is nothing more than a puppet in the hands of his superiors, bought and sold like a piece of property: he consequently commits suicide. Vatel throws himself on his sword because the roast was not sufficient to feed several unexpected guests, the clouds dulled the fireworks display and he lacked confidence that there would be enough fish for the morning meal. Anne de Montausier is grief-stricken upon hearing the news but she must not speak of it. In doing so, she flees the court quietly and no one ever knew about her and Vatel.
