Court jester Conrad the Good is really tired of not being appreciated by his master, Lord Otto, and decides to flee, leaving the kingdom in search of a more enlightened leader. Along with him on his journey are his horse and a servant girl, Christa the Fair, whom he loves. They set off for an unknown destination hoping that somewhere there is a sanctuary where they’ll have the freedom to be together and be themselves—and find happiness that was once denied.
