Fracasse
The Avenging Blade
S1 • E22
The Parisian theaters are fighting tooth and nail for a new play by an unknown author called 'The Avenging Blade', which features a masked avenger not a million miles from Fracasse and a ridiculous Duke that no-one can avoid mistaking for Vallombreuse. In a rage, Vallombreuse captures the author and exhibits him in chains. He dares Fracasse to either try to set him free, or give himself up. Sigognac, smelling a trap, has to act. Finally, caught in his own game, Vallombreuse has to allow the play to go ahead, or the highly surprising identity of the real author will be revealed.
