Graf Girodel hat bei General de Jarjayes um Oscars Hand angehalten. General de Bouier organisiert ein Fest für Oscar, auf dem sie sich einen Ehemann aussuchen soll. André erfährt von den Heiratsplänen und ist tiefst verletzt. Auch wird er von den Söldnern für einen Spion der adligen gehalten und wird zusammengeschlagen. Alain kommt ihm zu Hilfe und erfährt, dass André Oscar liebt. Unterdessen bringt Saint Juste, ein junger Revolutionär, mehrere Adelige um. Als dieser General de Jarjayes verletzt, bricht Oscar innerlich zusammen. Sie sagt André, dass sie noch nicht heiraten möchte.
General Jarjeyes decides to marry Oscar off to Gerodere and have her quit the military. Louis Saint-Just, one of Robespierre's more unstable allies, begins killing nobles unnecessarily against Robespierre's wishes. Alain informs Andre that it is now widely known that he was once Oscar's servant, and tells him to watch his back. The Company B soldiers deliberately disobey Oscar's orders to investigate the Opera House, but she insists to her father that the disobedience is exciting. She asks him to refuse Gerodere's proposal, and Jarjeyes begins to cry, feeling that he had caused her unnecessary hardship by raising her as a man. Oscar tells him that she is grateful for her life because it taught her to be strong. Nanny tells a horrified Andre about Gerodere's proposal. He is then beaten up by fellow soldiers, but Alain threatens them so they promise not to do so again. Alain learns the reason for Andre's enlistment when he begins talking about Gerodere's proposal in his unconsciousness. General Jarjeyes insists that Oscar attend a grand party as a woman with all of her (many) suitors as guests, but he is shot by Saint-Just the following day. Oscar vows to avenge her father's injury, but he tells her that her marriage would make him happier. She tells Andre that she "won't get married so easily" and makes only a brief appearance at her ball in soldier attire. Jarjeyes decides to stop pressuring her, but hopes that she will never stop searching for love.
A la surprise de tous, le Comte de Girodelle vient demander la main d'Oscar au Général de Jarjayes. Celui-ci qui ne semble pas contre cette idée, prend à partie sa fille et tout en s'excusant de la vie qu'il lui a imposée, lui suggère de reprendre son rôle de femme et de trouver un fiancé. Oscar est quelque peu interloquée par ce revirement.
Pendant ce temps, en dépit de l'opposition de Robespierre, Saint-Just assassine bon nombre de nobles, créant ainsi un climat tendu dans les bas-quartiers. Agressé par les hommes de sa section qui le suspectent d'être un espion à la solde d'Oscar, André est secouru par Alain...
La decisione del padre non le aggrada. Il comandante Girodel viene respinto, e al ballo cui è inviata, Oscar si presenta in divisa militare rifiutandosi di prenderne parte. L'unico a gioire della sua scelta è André, che vede all'orizzonte il suo sogno: il padre, pentito per l'educazione datale, le lascia piena libertà.
