This film revolves around the determination of the Spaniards fighting against the French to take back their country from them. They use the largest cannon in the world against the French. A group of shabby Spanish patriots find the cannon and begin to take care of it so they can travel with it to France and use it to blow up the tall walls for a revolution. Fortunately, Britain helps as well and brings the cannon to fight against the French. It is a team effort to bring down France.
