Figaro, a singing barber, gets caught by some bandits who use his abilities to attract travelers and assault them. To escape justice he joins the army. Meanwhile, the bandits are all captured where the authorities give them a stark choice - death by garrote or join the army. Both the bandits and Figaro end up serving in the same military company.
