[edit]

In Constance, on Lake Constance in southern Germany, in 1413, the beautiful Marie is to marry the illegitimate son of the Count of Keilburg against her will. As a result of intrigues, Marie is raped, imprisoned and tortured. She is later taken in by travelling whores and nursed back to health. Marie wants revenge. She earns her living through prostitution and, thanks to her beauty, meets the influential Count of Arnstein. With the help of the count and his wife, Marie finds her way into the bed of King Sigismund, whom she needs to pursue her revenge plan. When the prostitutes revolt over poor living and working conditions, Marie succeeds in proving her innocence.
