Aristocrat Guillaume de Saint Preux leads a double life as a masked bandit known as the Black Tulip. The Black Tulip only robs rich aristocrats, so the local peasants regard him as a hero. Baron La Mouche is convinced Guillaume is the Tulip. During a robbery, he scars the Tulip's face, and hopes to use this to expose Guillaume, but Guillaume is one step ahead.

This was quite a commercial success in France when it came out, and had then been broadcast for many years on french TV where i was that first as a kid.
Let's be honest it has not aged quite nicely; It's mainly an action/adventure comedy, but nowadays the comedy parts fell flat, the jokes either being gross, or plain sexist. The sword fights could have been fun but we've seen better. The photography however is very good and the exterior scenes filmed in Spain, are really beautiful. Not quite enough to redeem the feeble plot, but still enough to be enjoyable.
All i all, it's entertaining, if you don't mind the sexism and gross humor, but don't expect a masterpiece.
