Oriana eventually agrees to marry Francis (Dennis Price), the son of a rich man. In Spain Richard meets Rosal (Jean Kent)’, a lovely gipsy dancer who saves his life after the bandits have left him. The latter part of the film, which is full of action and drama, tells how Richard and Oriana eventually come together again.
