Plot

In the shimmer of 17th-century provincial France, war-hardened Squire Pierre St. Laurent finds his world upended upon his return from the far-flung battlefields of India. His ancestral estate, a casualty of back taxes, has been seized by the relentless Governor Narbonne and sold off to the intriguing Dutch Countess Katrina. However, she offers Pierre a glimmer of hope: his cherished property can be his again if he aids her in a daring quest for the 'Star of India,' an exquisite sapphire of fabled renown. The gem, currently in the iron grasp of Narbonne, is not just a symbol of wealth and power, but a coveted peace token for the Dutch government. Its return to its Indian devotees is a promise of tranquility. Amidst the opulent grandeur of Narbonne's château, Pierre finds himself embroiled in a whirlwind of intrigue as King Louis IV, with an eye for the sapphire as a gift for his court-favorite Mme. de Montespan, pays a visit. Unraveling the mystery, Pierre discovers the 'Star' concealed in the very hilt of Narbonne's sword. He boldly challenges Narbonne to a duel, wrestles control of the sword, and liberates the jewel. What follows is a breathless escape from the castle, pursued hotly by Narbonne's henchmen. On the horizon, a vessel carrying Countess Katrina awaits, setting the stage for an exhilarating chase that will determine the fate of the 'Star of India.'
