Portata la pace a Camelot, re Artù intende sposare la principessa Ginevra, che accetta l'offerta. Il cavaliere rinnegato Malagant, desideroso di appropriarsi delle terre di Ginevra, cerca di catturarla, ma interviene Lancillotto, vagabondo abilissimo con la spada. Vincolata dai doveri e dalla stima per Artù, Ginevra diventa regina e fa nominare Lancillotto cavaliere, ma la scelta tra il maturo sovrano e il giovane eroe è difficile.
