Summary |
A comedy set in France during medieval times when most of the men have gone off to the Crusades. Among the few who have remained behind is Comte Ory, a young nobleman intent on seducing as many women as he can. His eye is on the virtuous Countess Adèle in particular, and he disguises himself and takes up residence outside her castle. When his cover is blown, he boldly decides to make another attempt at conquest by dressing up as a nun. |
