Summary In France during the Seven Years' War, Fanfan is a charming, attractive young man who is trying to escape a shotgun marriage. At this vulnerable point in his life, he is approached by a recruiting officer's daughter, Adeline, who tells him that if he joins the army, he will find fame, fortune and marry the king's daughter. Consequently, he joins the army, only to find out that she made it all up so her father could get a recruitment bonus. However, encouraged by a series of unlikely circumstances, he accepts her prediction as his destiny. A series of events follow that show his athleticism and leadership ability to great advantage. As the film progresses, we become aware of a developing sympathy between him and Adeline, which nevertheless conflicts with his perceived "destiny" to marry a king's daughter.
