The play introduces a cast of characters, including a returning noblewoman named Jeanne, her relatives, and potential suitors, hinting at interpersonal conflicts and humorous situations. The opening of "Les diables noirs" sets the stage in a weathered chateau near Dieppe, where various characters—including Honoré, Sylvie, and Jeanne—interact in a lively and somewhat comedic manner.
