On a moonlit night in December 1775, the young doctor Menet, who lived in Paris, was suddenly forced to go out to see the doctor by the brothers of the Marquis of Evremont while he was taking a walk.In the Marquis's mansion, he witnessed the tragedy of a mad and stunning peasant woman and a young man wounded by a sword dying of hatred, and learned that the Marquis brothers killed their whole family for a moment of lust.He refused the heavy bribes from the Marquis brothers and wrote to the court to report.Unexpectedly, the letter of indictment fell into the hands of the defendant, and the doctor was imprisoned in the Bastille, where he was isolated from the world and never heard from again.Two years later, the wife died of a broken heart.The young orphan Lucy was taken to London by her friend Laurel and raised by the kind maid Pross.

Eighteen years later, Dr. Menett was released.The insane white-haired old man was taken in by a wine dealer in the Saint-Antoine district of Paris and his former servant Defarge.At this time, his daughter Lucy had grown up and made a special trip to pick him up to live in England.During the journey, they met a young Frenchman, Charles Dyer, and were taken care of by him. It turns out that Dyer is the son of the Marquis.He hated his family's crimes, so he resolutely gave up his property inheritance rights and noble surname, moved to London, and became a French teacher.During the association with the Meinet father and daughter, he developed a sincere love for Lucy.For the happiness of her daughter, Meinet decided to bury the past and readily agreed to their marriage.

In France, Dyer's parents died one after another, and his uncle, the Marquis of Evremont, continued to do whatever he wanted.When his wildly loaded carriage ran over a farmer's child as if nothing had happened, he was finally killed by the child's father with a knife.A revolutionary storm is brewing, and Defarge's hotel is the contact point for revolutionary activities. His wife keeps weaving the atrocities of the nobles into different patterns and recording them on scarves, longing for revenge. In 1739 the storm of the French Revolution finally hit.The people of Paris captured the Bastille and sent the nobles to the guillotine one by one.Dyer, who was far away in London, ventured back home in order to rescue the housekeeper Gable, but was arrested and imprisoned as soon as he arrived in Paris.The Meinet father and daughter arrived at Xingye after hearing the news.The doctor's testimony in court brought Dyer back to his wife's side.However, a few hours later, Dyer was arrested again.In the court, Defarge read out the blood book written by the doctor in prison that year: to accuse the heaven and the earth of the last person of the Evremont family.The court sentenced Dyer to death.

At this moment, Calden, the legal assistant who has been secretly in love with Lucy, came to Paris, bribed the jailer, entered the prison, and replaced Dyer who was in a coma. Set off.The group left France smoothly. After Mrs. Defarge was sentenced in Dyerne, she went to the residence of Menet to search for Lucy and her young daughter. During the fight with Pross, she died because of a gun going off.On the guillotine, Calden dedicated himself calmly to love.
