She is first seen scornfully rejecting the attentions of Viard, an unscrupulous fellow. Vowing vengeance, he brings charges of Royalist tendencies against her and her husband. The latter manages to make his escape, but she is arrested and taken before the Revolutionary Tribunal. There, the undaunted woman defends herself in such a manner that an acquittal is granted. But Viard succeeds in having her arrested again upon a new charge. This time the fates are against her, and she is thrown into prison. From there she is taken on the "fatal cart" to the guillotine. Surrounded by an angry mob of Revolutionists, she steps up to the guillotine, and, majestically bowing to the Statue of Liberty, cries out those famous words: "Oh, Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name."
