In 1815, young Jacquou lives an idyllic peasant life with his parents in the Périgord region of France.  But one day, his childhood happiness is cruelly ended when his father is arrested, after a dispute with the arrogant Count de Nansac.  With both his parents dead, Jacquou is adopted by Bonal, a kind priest, under whose influence he grows into an assured, morally upright young man.   Now an adult, Jacquou has one desire.  To repay the Count de Nansac for the evil he once inflicted on his parents...
