Synopsis

In this epic adventure set in the 15th century, King Navarre dies and leaves his two nieces to fight over the throne. Naturally one of the girls is good, and the other evil. The two are at an impasse that can only be broken when one of the women can acquire the cylinder containing the king's will which names the heir. The evil girl fears that the good one will win, so she hires a muscleman to find the cylinder and retrieve it. The good girl follows a poet's advice and contracts a great swordsman to help her.
