Synopsis

When Count Raoul De Vriac (Richard Johnson) and Duke Esteban (James Villiers), having been close friends since their youth, want their respective children to marry each other, the young couple concerned, Adrienne (Mary Chilton) and Miguel (Daniel Chatto), are not happy with this arrangement, for, although fond of each other, they both love someone else. Just when all seems lost, the beautiful and vivacious Marquise Eloise (Dame Diana Rigg), who had been a close friend of both noblemen, arrives unexpectedly at the Count's home and takes charge of the affair - to the complete satisfaction of all.
