Rebellion breaks out during the reign of Henry III, and a brave knight foils the plans of a baron to steal the treasure of the King.
Critical reception.
"The Monthly Film Bulletin" wrote: "Loyal knighthood-versus-treacherous tyranny in the reign of Henry III: unconvincing swordplay, tame characterisation and incident, direction without spark."
"TV Guide" wrote: "a weak script is saved by some impressive battle scenes and authentic-looking costuming."
