Set in 17th-century Paris, Fräulein von Scuderi follows the story of a murder investigation that unfolds around the enigmatic goldsmith René Cardillac and his beautiful daughter, Madelon.

However, the respected writer Fräulein von Scuderi believes in Ollivier's innocence and sets out to uncover the truth. As she delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers a web of secrets, deceit, and hidden identities that challenge her understanding of justice and the nature of love.
