<p>Josuez l’Autrichien (Josuez the Austrian) would like to marry Flore, but her uncle – a rich farmer named Danglois – objects to it. Josuez kills Danglois. Flore believes that her uncle has joined the army. She sets off in search of the French troops, but she ends up meeting the Austrians. When they hear her scream, the French come to her rescue, and they engage in battle against the Austrians.</p>
<p>Josuez tries to get rid of Fanfan, an orphan raised at the farm and who is in love with Flore. Flore returns to the farm. Josuez follows her. Because she does not want to marry him, he wishes to kill her, so he can at least lay hands on the money. Fanfan comes in and kills him. Flore finds the body of her uncle in the well. The French come in and announce that they have won.</p>
