The French Revolution makes the entire country drown in terror. During a session of the Committee of Public Safety, Billaud-Varenne accuses Danton and his henchmen of counter-revolutionary activity. And although Robespierre refuses to put Danton on trial, the other members of the Committee keep quoting more and more arguments against him. Meanwhile, “Le Vieux Cordelier” — the journal edited by Camille Desmoulins from Cordeliers Club — is confiscated. Soon, Danton is warned in secret that the government is planning to arrest him.
