The Conscript is set in rural Flanders in Belgium in the early 19th century. After the son of a local notable is conscripted into the Belgian Army, he pays Jan Braems, a poor farmer's boy, to volunteer for military service in his place under the system of remplacement. Braems serves in the Army. He visits a prostitute and contracts venereal disease which he attempts to cure by washing his eyes with own urine causing him to go blind. His girlfriend refuses to part from him, however, in spite of the circumstances.
