Summary:

The executioner for the little village of St. Radegonde has died. Since that office is hereditary, his daughter, Jeanne, has applied to hold it as she wants to support herself and is familiar with the demands of the job. In fact, she has several ideas on how to improve the service, which she promptly begins.
