The film is a comedy that centers on a disgruntled 18th century Bostonian, played by Errol, who while wishing that he was a pirate, dons the clothes and play-acts the part. He is mistaken for the real pirate, Dixie Bull (played by Walter Law) whom Errol, of course, bumps into later in the film. More importantly, Errol "slays" the villain and puts his foot upon the pirate's head. This is more than enough and he heads back home to his unappreciated wife, played by Dorothy Gish.

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.

This arouses the anger of Armand and he denounces her one evening in public. The Count de Varville (Law) challenges Armand to a duel which he wins, wounding Armand in the arm.
