Confused by tales of knights and their glorious deeds, Don Alonso, as Don Quixote de la Mancha, sets out fearlessly as a knight-errant with his friend and faithful squire Sancho Panza to accomplish great things. With rickety armor and a barber's basin for a helmet, he fights windmills, mistakes washerwomen for princesses, and monks for evil sorcerers. While Don Quixote dedicates all his deeds and the entire glory of his lady love, the most beautiful maiden Dulcinea, he contributes to the amusement of all involved.
