Robert Lafleur dirige une troupe de comédiens dans la plus pure tradition de la Commedia dell'Arte où son interprétation de Scaramouche enchante les foules... quand il ne délaisse pas les tréteaux pour courir d'une maitresse à l'autre. Peu perturbé par la rumeur qui en ferait le fruit des amours ancillaires d'un important seigneur, il se partage entre Suzanne, patronne d'une taverne (de charme), et Madame de Popignan par ailleurs maitresse du Roi et du marquis de Latour. Le retour de Louisiane du Marquis de Souchil et sa charmante filleule sortie droit du Couvent vont changer tout ça.

The fairly straightforward love/betrayal/sacrifice theme of the Noyes poem is expanded to fill out the demands of an 82 minute long film. The Highwayman himself is an aristocrat who leads a party of associates to hold up the well-to-do and distribute their takings to the needy. This campaign is broadened when they discover that innocents are being kidnapped and sold into slavery in the colonies. The finale however follows the poem more closely as the Highwayman is betrayed to the authorities, soldiers march to set an ambush, his lover Bess sacrifices herself to give warning and the hero is shot down on the highway as he gallops to take revenge.
