The infamous writer, the Marquis de Sade of eighteenth-century France, is imprisoned at Charenton Insane Asylum for unmentionable activities. He manages to befriend the young Abbé de Coulmier, who runs the asylum, along with a beautiful laundress named Madeline. Things go terribly wrong when the Abbe finds out that the Marquis' books are being secretly published. Emperor Napoleon contemplates sending Dr. Royer-Collard to oversee the asylum, a man famed for his torturous punishments. It could mean the end of Charenton and possibly the Marquis.
Cheating Notes
At 1:26:24, Dr. Royer-Collard's young wife gives her lover an implied blowjob (she's off-screen), sucks his finger, kisses him, and then they elope. There are nudity and sex scenes in other parts of the film, done by the other actresses.
