A precious necklace owned by Marie Antoinette, the last French queen before the French Revolution, appears in the hands of a British collector who decides to give it to Queen Elizabeth. Sworn enemy of Blake and Mortimer, Olrik, who is about to be tried in Paris, manages to escape and steal the precious jewel right before their eyes during a glamorous reception in the French capital. The case threatens to develop into a diplomatic crisis, particularly as Olrik makes every effort to embarrass Blake and Mortimer by informing the press of his every move.
