The King Plot and Cast
In Paris to sign a treaty, King John IV of Cerdania—a monarch who knows his kind is vanishing yet performs his role fully in both state council and boudoir—gets caught up in intrigue with actress Therese Mannix. He also becomes involved in a bit of cuckoldry with YouYou Bourdier, the ex-seamstress wife of a French senator, who remains un-awed by money, power, or the King's kisses. Her husband, Senator Bourdier, is happy to use his wealth, wife, and collectivist ideals to gain social position, despite his democratic posing.
