Director: Laurent Pelly

As he wants to secure his political position, Lord Enrico wants to marry his sister Lucia to the influential Lord Arturo. But Lucia is madly in love with Enrico's mortal enemy - Sir Edgardo, who falls in love with her again. Enrico then takes advantage of Edgardo's prolonged absence to successfully undermine the marriage he has rejected and make Lucia agree to accept Arturo, whom she does not want. When Edgardo unexpectedly bursts into the middle of Lucia and Arturo's wedding celebrations and accuses Lucia of infidelity, she finally breaks down inside: In a fit of madness, she kills Arturo on their wedding night and dies herself shortly afterwards. When Edgardo learns of her death, he stabs himself.
