En plein Moyen Age, le royaume de Kandoar vit sous la protection d'un bon roi garant de la paix. Le pouvoir est symbolisé, comme dans toutes les monarchies, par une couronne. Mais celle-ci est bien singulière. Outre le fait qu'elle soit en fer, elle possède un étrange pouvoir magique qui l'a fait s'enfoncer dans le sol dès que le pays tombe entre d'injustes mains. Or Sedemondo, personnage fourbe et avide de pouvoir, fait lâchement assassiner le roi, son propre frère, dans le but de prendre sa place sur le trône de Kandoar. De sorte qu'aucun héritier ne vienne revendiquer sa place, ou ne se rebelle, il fait également jeter le jeune Arminio, le fils de l'infortuné souverain, dans un gouffre.

This propaganda film was partly inspired by the story of the first Italian heavyweight champion Primo Carnera who, after winning the title with Al Capone’s help in 1933, was beaten the following year by the Jewish Max Bear and then again by the ‘Brown Bomber’ Detroit Joe Lewis in June 1935, on the eve of the Italian invasion of Ethiopia. This match provoked numerous racial skirmishes on the streets of Harlem between the Black community and pro-Fascist Italian-Americans. The film overturns historical facts and here, obviously, it is the white boxer who wins in order to demonstrate the superiority of the “Aryan Italians” over the “sinister Jewish entrepreneurs” and the “savage Afro-American fans in Yankee Stadium”. In the film, these were played by South African prisoners-of-war interred in a work camp, which the German and Italian propaganda ministries had set up near Cinecittà “for cinematic purposes”.

ETTORE FIERAMOSCA was based on a widely-read literary action epic by Massimo D'Azeglio, published in 1833. Translated to the screen in 1938 by the most important director of the Italian fascist period, Alessandro Blasetti, it was intended to boost current patriotic fervor and pride in the Italian nation, and it contributed to a revival of Italian nationalism.
