Fancioulle is a jester who is favored in the court, especially for his mute roles, so much that he is noted as practically a friend of the Prince. A Lord catches Fancioulle in a conspiracy of rebellion against the Prince. He is arrested and sentenced to death for his involvement. He is given the chance to play for the Prince within a cast assembled of the other conspirators. On the night of the performance, Fancioulle gives the best performance of his life, and in his shining moment, when all had forgotten that he was a condemned man, he is killed in the middle of his act.
