Louis may be King, but Marie-Antoinette is determined to inaugurate her reign as Queen of France. First step: organize a sumptuous inauguration ball, and convince Louis to choose the pro-Austrian candidate whom she defends as Prime Minister. When Louis refuses to let his Austrian wife get involved in French politics, a chill sets in in their marriage.

Marie-Antoinette is finally pregnant! But his reputation is attacked when pornographic pamphlets spread to the Court of Versailles, challenging the legitimacy of the unborn child. Louis locks the castle and demands a thorough investigation in order to unmask the plotting traitors.
