Captain Fracasse Plot and Cast
Baron Philippe, left penniless, joins Herod's traveling actors after meeting the troupe and falling for Isabella, who plays the ingenue. He takes the place of their deceased poet and performs as Captain Fracasse. Isabella loves him but refuses marriage, not wanting to harm his noble career. After the Duke of Vallombrosa touches Isabella, Philippe challenges him to a duel; defeated, the duke has his men attack Fracasse and abducts Isabella. The actors storm the castle where she is held, and the duke is seriously wounded. His father arrives and recognizes Isabella as a former actress, clearing the way for her union with Philippe.
