Swashbuckling adventure

Violetta (Michèle Grellier) is abducted by the evil Duke de Guise (Jean Topart). De Guise promised Princess Fausta (Gianna Maria Canale) to make her queen when he becomes king, so she is rather irritated by his interest in the beautiful Violetta. The knight Jean de Pardaillan (Gérard Barray) is in love with Violetta and comes to her rescue, fighting de Guise and a whole army of extras.

Fast moving swashbuckling adventure which is not boring for a second. It has its fair share of comedy ingredients, when the hero never takes his enemies too serious, but jumps at them with a broad grin, shouting "Ha, ha!" a lot, sabre always in hand. It is a bit weird to see Kirk Morris as Samson, though. He looks like he got into the wrong movie set by mistake.
