The lord of the manor has fallen madly in love with one of his subjects, but the latter spurns his advances, and under pretense of a misdemeanor she is apprehended and taken into custody. The sister summons the lover of the unfortunate victim and explains the conditions, whereupon the two form a pact to do everything to bring about a rescue. Clad in the garments of a jester, he impersonates a musician and this gains admission to the palace. Coming upon his sweetheart, he discloses his identity, and, taking her up, makes his exit over a perilous route. The rescue is detected, pursuit follows, and the two are recaptured. The valiant lover is cast into a cell, while the girl is taken before the lord. The latter proposes marriage, and if accepted agrees to expunge the charge against her and release her lover. Reluctantly she agrees, and when the release order is presented to her she embraces her lord only to abstract his dagger, with which she promptly pierces his breast. She makes her exit through the window and down the precipitous wall, approaches the building from the outside, presents the release for her lover, and the two quickly make their escape. The series concludes with an enlarged view of a happy little family group taken several years later.
