It was the second feature film for Adémaï, a character Noël-Noël had developed on the music hall stage, following the previous year's hit Skylark.

The Corsican singer and future film star Tino Rossi appears as a troubadour.

In 1429, shortly after the Siege of Orléans during the Hundred Years' War between France and England, the peasant Adémaï's new bride Tiennette is captured by an English lord who coverts her for himself.

She is imprisoned in a castle, then rescued by a French force in which two men also desire her and fight each other in a tournament.

When he sees Tiennette leaving with the handsome Philippe de Beauregard, a resigned Adémaï goes to enlist in the forces of Joan of Arc.
