Within the crumbling walls of his ancestral château in Gascony, the young Baron de Sigognac leads a life of quiet desperation until a wandering theater troupe seeks shelter on a stormy night. Captivated by both the beautiful ingénue Isabella and the freedom of the theatrical life, he joins the performers under the flamboyant stage name Captain Fracasse. As the troupe travels across France, he must master both stagecraft and swordplay, defending his newfound family from rivals and rogues while navigating the delicate balance between his noble birth and his adopted life in the theater.
