Opera singer (Marie de Flor) seeks out her fugitive brother in the Canadian wilderness. During her trek, she meets a Canadian Mountie (Sgt. Bruce) who is also searching for her brother. Romance ensues, resulting in several love duets between the two.
The story takes place in medieval France. Poet-rogue Francois Villon, sentenced to hang by King Louis XI for writing derogatory verses about him, is offered a temporary reprieve. His hanging will be postponed for 24 hours, and in that time he must defeat the invading Burgundians and win the love of the beautiful Katherine.
