Synopsis
Having killed a noble too friendly with his wife Charlotte, Nicolas Phillibert flees from France to South Carolina, where he does well and wants to marry a rich man’s daughter. To do so, he will first have to return to France and get a divorce. On landing at Nantes in 1793, the Reign of Terror is raging and he is arrested by the revolutionaries. Taken to a republican ceremony in the cathedral, he saves the life of a royalist girl, Pauline, and escapes with her to an isolated castle. There he finds Charlotte, claiming to be a widow, with Pauline’s brother Henri. A prince arrives from London to organise resistance in the Vendée and is struck by Charlotte, who was told by a gypsy that she would become a princess. She admits that she is married to Nicolas, so the prince has him drugged and carried into Nantes city hall to get a divorce. Put back on his ship for America, Nicolas’ divorce certificate blows overboard. Diving into the Loire, he swims ashore to find Charlotte again, but she has left with the prince for neutral Germany. Pursuing her across France in the throes of the Austrian invasion, he catches her at the frontier. Fifteen years later, Nicolas is made a prince by Napoleon and the gypsy’s prediction comes true.Actors

In the autumn of 1654, an escaped slave seeks refuge at a convent in southern France. After the nuns take him in, his pursuers break into the convent and assault the nuns, searching for the slave. After wounding the mother superior (Pascale Roberts), they close in on their prey. One feisty novitiate, Eloise (Sophie Marceau)—the daughter of the renowned swordsman D'Artagnan (Philippe Noiret) of the famed Three Musketeers—stands up to the intruders, but is shoved aside as they ride off after the frightened slave, who escaped from the evil Duke Crassac de Merindol. Eloise finds a blood-stained piece of paper (a simple laundry list) that the slave used to stop a bleeding wound, and believes it holds some secret code. Later, Eloise is with the mother superior when she dies from her wound. Swearing a sacred oath to avenge her and dressed in men's clothes, Eloise sets out for Paris to elicit the help of her father in tracking down the murderers.

1935. Jacques et Simon sont deux petits malfrats à la petite semaine vivant de braquages et de vols de bijoux. La sortie de la "Citroën Traction Avant" leur ouvre de nouvelles perspectives en raison de sa grande vitesse. Ils intensifient leurs forfaits tandis que l'inspecteur Deschamp s’intéresse à eux. Dans un bal populaire, Jacques drague Lola, une jolie prostituée qui va désormais les accompagner dans leur coups... Lorsque la Seconde Guerre mondiale éclate, les trois amis se trouve embringués dans une affaire de vol de tableaux récupérés chez des collectionneurs juifs. Le trio souhaite alors doubler les allemands, déroute le train transportant les tableaux et charge un camion. Les autorités allemandes déclarent qu'en représailles 50 civils seront fusillés à moins que les tableaux soient rendus. Simon rend le contenu du camion aux allemands, mais désormais la guerre est ouverte entre le trio et l'inspecteur Deschamp, passé entre temps collaborateur de la Gestapo. Deschamp parviendra à kidnapper et à torturer Lola qui refusera de parler. De son côté Jacques et Simon kidnappent Dominique la femme de Deschamp. Les deux femmes sont échangées, mais Jacques a pu remarquer pendant sa capture que Dominique ne tenait pas en haute estime son mari. L'idée lui vient de coucher avec elle afin de lui soutirer des renseignements sur les activités en cours de la Gestapo. Cela fonctionne un moment jusqu’au jour où Jacques et Dominique sont arrêtés sur leur lieu de rendez-vous. On torture Jacques, Dominique dit alors aux allemands que c'est son mari qui fournit des renseignements à la résistance. Deschamp a alors le choix, tuer sa femme ou se suicider, il tue Dominique, mais les allemands considérant qu'il s'agit d'un acte de résistance désespéré, le torturent et l’emprisonnent. A la Libération, Jacques est décoré par le général De Gaulle... mais Deschamps également qui se voit offrir un poste important au ministère de l'intérieur.
