"Scaramouche" tells the story of Andre-Louis Moreau, a young lawyer during the French Revolution. In the course of his adventures he becomes an actor portraying «Scaramouche» (a roguish buffoon character in the commedia dell'arte). He also becomes a revolutionary, politician, and fencing-master, confounding his enemies with his powerful orations and swordsmanship. He is forced by circumstances to change sides several times. "Scaramouche the King-Maker" continues the adventures of Andre-Louis Moreau, who conceives, then with Baron de Batz masterminds, a plan to destroy the Revolution and restore the monarchy through a campaign whereby the Revolutionary leaders, hitherto thought of by the French populace as incorruptible patriots, will be accused of and exposed as corrupt and profiteers. However, while Andre-Louis is in France working for the restoration, unknown to him in Germany the Regent of France attempts to seduce Andre-Louis's fianc?e Aline de Kercadiou.
