The Noble Spaniard

1850 : Boulogne, Spain. Mr. Justice Proudfoot and his wife Matilda have rented a villa for the summer. There they receive their guests, including an attractive young widow. Things heat up when a mysterious Spanish nobleman arrives, proclaiming his undying love for her.

To cool his ardour the lady claims to still have a husband, but this only fans the Spaniard's flame.
In his efforts to find her husband, he challenges every man he meets to mortal combat. The resulting misunderstandings and cases of mistaken identity all add up to a classic farce.
