♦ Synopsis :
A ruined baron, Philippe de Sigognac, meet one day a troop of travelling actors whom Hérode directs. Attracted by that which holds the role of the ingenuous one : Isabelle, and by the dynamism and the enthusiasm of her companions, it takes the place of the late poet of the troop. And at the time of the representations, Philippe becomes the Fracasse captain. On her side, Isabelle loves Philippe, but does not want to consider any union, the nobility being lacking to him, it refuses to harm the career of the baron. And a day, the duke of Vallombreuse, allured by Isabelle, is seen caused in duel by Philippe to have touched with the girl. Overcome, it launches its men Fracasse against, then removes Isabelle. The actors throw themselves then to the attack of the castle where it is retained captive. This Vallombreuse time is seriously wounded, and the proper father of the duke, run on the spot, discovers as a Isabelle the girl that it had had formerly with an actress. Nothing any more is opposed from now on to the union of Crashes to pieces and Isabelle, under the tenderized glance of the actors Hérode and Scapin.
