Francia, en los aledaños del siglo XVIII. La gente era feliz, las mujeres eran fáciles, y los hombres se entregaban a su deporte favorito: la guerra, entretenimiento para deleite del Rey en el que todos podían participar. Huyendo de un matrimonio forzado, Fanfan, un joven aventurero muy sensible a la belleza femenina, es captado por el ejército de Luis XV. Para conseguir que se enrole definitivamente, Adeline, la bella hija de un sargento de un pelotón de reclutadores, predice a Fanfan un fabuloso futuro como oficial del ejército, y también que está destinado a desposar a una de las hijas del Rey. De camino a Aquitania, Fanfan hace poner pies en polvorosa a un grupo de bandidos que intentaban asaltar la caravana real, descubriendo a continuación que los ocupantes de dicha caravana son Madame de Pompadour y Henriette, la hija del Soberano de Francia. Fanfan cree que con este encuentro se cumplen las predicciones de Adeline. .
