Film Synopsis
France under the reign of King Louis XIII. In 1615, the Duke of Angoulême leads a faction of noblemen who conspire to drive from the royal court all Florentines, including their powerful leader Concini. Adhémar de Capestang, a young man who is destined to become the Captain, leaves his home town to make a name for himself in Paris. On the way, he comes to the rescue of a young woman, Gisèle d'Angoulême, when she falls into the hands of a masked individual who intended to abduct her. Many adventures later, Capestang fights and kills the masked stranger in a duel, only to discover that he is none other than Concini. Having earned the gratitude and friendship of the king, Capestang is free to marry Gisèle.© James Travers
