17-year-old Tess Skinner is the daughter of a squatter, and wealthy man Elias Graves, who owns the land, is trying to get rid of them and the other squatter families. Tess is just as determined to make sure they all stay. Elias, however, grows more stubborn with failure. His determination to disperse the squatters has become an obsession. He is determined to kick them out of his land, not caring they don't have another place to go to. Graves' son, Frederick, is on her side and doesn't think about squatters the way his father does. Frederick's sister Teola fears her father, who thinks obedience is more important than love. She has fallen in love with law student Dan Jordan, but he hasn't been able to impress Elias.

Le connétable Thibault fait emprisonner le poète vagabond François Villon, lorsqu'il apprend que ce dernier est au courant de la conspiration qu'il mène avec le Duc de Bourgogne pour renverser Louis XI. Katherine, la pupille du roi, rend visite à Villon et, apprenant son histoire de trahison, le fait libérer pour qu'il puisse avoir des preuves de ses accusations. Pour cela, Villon se rend à la taverne qui est le siège du complot et y récite son poème "Si j'étais roi" (If I were king). Le roi, qui était dans la taverne sous un déguisement, décide de nommer le poète connétable à la place de Thibault, qui a déserté pour rejoindre les Bourguignons. Mais le roi lui impose une semaine pour gagner l'amour de Catherine, à défaut de quoi il sera pendu. En sept jours, Villon bat l'armée du duc, déjoue un complot contre le roi. À la fin de la semaine, il est en train de bravement monter sur l'échafaud quand Katherine lui proclame son amour et ainsi le libère.
