The story

In seventeenth-century Paris, poet and master swordsman Cyrano de Bergerac stops a play from being performed because he had previously banned the principal actor, Montfleury, from the stage for a month. Annoyed aristocrat Vicomte de Valvert provokes Cyrano into a duel by insulting Cyrano's enormous nose. Cyrano composes a ballade for the duel and recites it during the sword fight.
