Inghilterra. Medioevo. Il malvagio mago Pendragon tenta di conquistare il trono del reame di Cornovaglia, e si serve di un gigante per rapire la principessa Elaine. Il tentativo è, però, sventato all'ultimo istante da Jack, un povero agricoltore, che riesce ad uccidere il gigante e liberare la principessa. Il re Mark, per riconoscenza verso l'eroe, lo nomina cavaliere e protettore della principessa. Sapendo, comunque, che il perfido Pendragon non si arrenderà tanto facilmente e temendo un nuovo agguato, il re decide di mandare segretamente Elaine in un convento in Normandia fino a quando la minaccia cesserà definitivamente.
