Synopsis · Au Moyen Age, Roderick, ignoble félon, a usurpé le trône d'Angleterre et règne en tyran sur le pays. Le véritable héritier, qui n'est encore qu'un bébé, porte sur les fesses la marque tatouée de son lignage. Une bande de rebelles veille sur le prince et attend son heure pour passer le pouvoir au légitime héritier de la couronne. Le vaillant «Renard noir», chef des nobles brigands, garantit de sa vie l'avenir de l'enfant. Un de ses fidèles parvient à se faire passer pour un bouffon italien à la cour de Roderick et se charge de glaner tous les renseignements utiles aux rebelles. Un complot se prépare pour démasquer le tyran et mettre fin à son règne...
