In truth, Duval was a successful gentleman
highwayman who came from France to
post-Restoration England, but
The Gay Cavalier portrayed him in heroic fashion. In each of the series 13 episodes, Duval was to be seen embarking on an adventure which required him to undertake such tasks as
treasure hunting, thwarting a plot by the
Roundheads or saving a
damsel in distress. Each of the adventures was self-contained and Duval was often accompanied on these exploits by a female companion (usually a different one in each episode). == Cast==
