Meet Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a courageous knight who has been disinherited by his own father, Cedric the Saxon. Despite these trials, Ivanhoe remains steadfast in his loyalty to the true king, Richard the Lionheart, and his secret love for the beautiful Lady Rowena. As Ivanhoe returns from the Crusades, he finds his homeland torn asunder by corruption and strife, with the malicious Prince John seizing the throne in his brother Richard's absence.

When Ivanhoe, disguised as the Disinherited Knight, takes part in a grand tournament, his life and the fate of England hang in the balance.
