John Barrymore stars memorably as Parisian literary giant Francois Villon, who is made King for a day by King Louis XI in an effort to placate his subjects. Before the day is over, Villon must assemble a rag tag army of felons, vagrants, and ladies of ill repute to defend his beloved city against an invading army from Burgundy.
