Die unglaublichen Abenteuer des hochwohllöblichen Ritters Branca Leone (1966)
Einem totgeglaubten Ritter entwenden drei Strauchdiebe eine Urkunde und geben sie Brancaleone. Sie verbürgt dem Inhaber den Besitz des Lehensgutes Aurocastro. Brancaleone zieht an der Spitze der kleinen Strauchdiebe in Richtung seines neuen Besitzes. Unterwegs hat er viele gefährliche und tollkühne Abenteuer zu bestehen. Abenteuer, die ihm mehr als einmal fast das Leben kosten. Schöne Frauen säumen seinen unaufhaltsamen Weg und die Schar seiner Anhänger und Bewunderer wächst ständig. Schließlich erreicht Brancaleone das Lehensgut Aurocastro, seinen vermeintlichen neuen Besitz. Doch der rechtmäßige Herr des Lehensgutes ist nicht tot; er lässt Brancaleone und seine Freunde auf den Scheiterhaufen stellen. Nur ein vorbeiziehender Haufen Pilger rettet ihnen das Leben und Brancaleone geht mit ihnen ins heilige Land.
