Hugh De Luc, a poor innkeeper, returns home from the First Crusade wearied from battle and disillusioned by carnage. But, his nightmare is just beginning: during his absence Hugh's son has been killed, and his beloved wife, Sophie, has been kidnapped - all in search of a priceless relic dating back to the crucifiction. Hugh takes on the role of a jester and infiltrates the court where he believes his wife is being held captive.
