Monsieur de Garnache, sharp of tongue and short of patience, is sent from the court in Paris to Dauphiny to free Valerie, a young heiress kept at the Château de Condillac by a dowager who means to have her fortune. The bloated Seneschal of Dauphiny would rather do nothing, so Garnache must work by trickery, disguise and his sword from inside the walls.
