Taking place in England in the year 1690, The Man Who Laughs features Gwynplaine, the son of an English nobleman who has offended KingJames II. The monarch sentences the nobleman to death in an iron maiden, after calling upon a surgeon, Dr. Hardquannone, to disfigure the boy's face into a permanent rectus grin. As a title card states, the King condemned him "to laugh forever at his fool of a father". After few years, while summoned by the king to leave England, Dr Hardquannone and his fellows "comprachicos" - a sinister band of children-abductors – abandon Gwymplaine at night on the Cornish coast. Later, caught in a raging storm, which they think is due to their misdemeanor, the comprachicos will throw into the sea a bottle containing the story and the origin of the Man who Laughs.
