Output (English): King Louis XI of France Basil Rathbone is in desperate straits. He is besieged in Paris by the Burgundians and suspects that there is a traitor in his court. He goes in disguise to a tavern to see who accepts a message from the enemy. While there, he is amused by the antics of poet Francois Villon Ronald Colman, who has stolen food from the royal storehouse. The rascal criticizes the king and brags about how much better he would do if he were in Louis place. The traitor is revealed to be Grand Constable DAussigny John Miljan, but before he can be arrested, the turncoat is killed in a brawl by Villon. As a jest, Louis rewards Villon by making him the new Constable, though the king secretly intends to have him executed after a week. His lowborn origin kept a secret, Villon falls in love with ladyinwaiting Katherine DeVaucelles Frances Dee and she with him. Then Louis informs Villon about his grim fate. Villon escapes, but when the Burgundians break down the city gates, he rallies the common people to rout them and lift the siege. Having had to put up with Villons impudence and wanting less aggravation in his life, Louis decides to permanently exile him from Paris. Villon leaves on foot, with Katherine following at a discreet distance.
