En 1938, à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Bénédicte Drot de Fézinzac, jeune femme issue de la petite noblesse versaillaise, vient d’accoucher d’une petite fille, hors les liens du mariage… L’enfant est placée dans un orphelinat religieux, et Bénédicte, chassée de la maison familiale, est obligée de se placer comme domestique. Elle trouve un emploi de gouvernante chez Antoinette et Ernest Treives, un jeune couple de la haute société parisienne, vivant sur un grand pied, à la Plaine Monceau. Tout dans leur mode de vie heurte l’austère Bénédicte. De plus, ils sont juifs, ce qui horrifie la jeune catholique, pétrie de préjugés antisémites. Mais la nécessité, le sens du devoir et du travail bien fait, puis, progressivement, l’attachement qu’elle éprouve malgré elle pour sa jeune maîtresse, aident Bénédicte à surmonter son aversion première. Quand Antoinette donne naissance à un petit garçon en plein exode, Bénédicte se dévoue entièrement à l’enfant et à sa mère, sans toutefois jamais révéler à Antoinette le secret de ses origines, ni qu’elle est elle-même mère d’une petite fille.

The film is based on the story of Erzsébet Bathory, a Hungarian countess in the 16th and 17th centuries. Her story takes place in a part of the Kingdom of Hungary that is now Slovakia. In this retelling, the Countess is a healer who conducts medical experiments and rudimentary autopsies in a "hospital" beneath her castle. She forms a relationship with a reputed witch, Darvulia, who saves her from poisoning. The witch promises Erzsebet a son and eternal beauty. In return, Erzsebet must sacrifice both love and her reputation. Darvulia becomes Erzsebet's companion. Meanwhile, maidens in the area have been dying of seemingly unrelated causes, and Erzsebet is seen bathing in a large tub of red liquid as the girls' now-mutilated corpses are buried nearby. Two monks later conclude that the water is not blood but is simply colored red by herbs.

During World War I, a seemingly respectable middle-aged man Henri Landru has devised an ingenious means of obtaining money to supplement his dwindling income. Adopting various assumed names, he lures middle-class women to his villa at Gambais just outside Paris, where he kills them and burns their bodies. He then helps himself to his victims’ bank accounts so that he can keep his wife, his mistress and his four children in the manner to which they have grown accustomed. Having murdered ten women and one boy, Landru is finally captured and placed before a court of law. Eloquent in his protestations of innocence, he is confident that no jury will condemn a man of such intellect and breeding.
