In pre-Revolutionary France, Voltaire champions the oppressed commoners and tries to warn King Louis XV about the growing unrest among his subjects. The writer has a powerful ally in Madame Pompadour (Doris Kenyon), Louis' mistress, but the Count de Sarnac (Alan Mowbray) opposes him for his own ends. The production is a thinly disguised portrayal of Calas' execution and the aftermath transposed to an exotic setting.
