When the old bandit Ruffiano realizes that his son has grown into a nice but uneducated young man, he sends him to a monastery to be educated by monks, where he becomes a gentle young man. When his father lays on his deathbed, he promises to take over his trade. When his father dies, the young Ruffiano has a hard time; well-raised, he isn't able to rob anyone. Fortunately, he meets up with the woodcutter Drnec, with whom he ends up visiting a sultan looking to cure his princess. Instead of a cure, however, the princess "gets sick" in love with Ruffiano...
