Алонсо Кихано е обикновен благородник, познат на малцина. Прекарва дните си в четене на рицарски романи и се вглъбява в тях дотолкова, че самият той започва да се възприема като такъв. Алонсо Кихано става Дон Кихот.Самопровъзгласява се за рицар, подготвя доспехите си и заедно със своя стар кон се отправят на подвизи. Подвизите обаче, за едни налудничави, за други досадни, не са така леки, и Дон Кихот има нужда от помощта на своя стар съсед, когото провъзгласява за оръженосец. Дон Кихот, Санчо Панса и конят Ронсинант се изправят срещу вятърни мелници и насилници, забъркват се в конфликти, постигат геройства, предизвикват присмех. Докъде ще ги отведе приключението им? Ще получи ли Санчо Панса обещания му остров? Ще осъзнае ли Дон Кихот състоянието си, преди то да го доведе до необратима опасност?Мигел де Сервантес е испански писател, романист и поет, живял в периода 1547 – 1616 год.

Първите години от неговото творчество не водят до успех, а пиесите му не се радват на широка популярност.

Samtidig er charlatanen Kaj Lykke på flugt for sit liv, da han i Danmark er dømt for majestætsfornærmelse.
