The knight, with the assurance that the maid win wait a period of five years, goes to seek his fortune at war. In due course of time another suitor presents himself, but is repulsed.

Shocked at the infidelity of her lover, she resigns herself and accepts the proposal of the new suitor; is married after the expiration of five years, and is praying to the Virgin Mary in the sanctum of the cathedral, when her belated lover rushes in upon her. When the unfortunate knight realizes the deception resorted to and the loss it means to him, he drops dead. Grieved and shocked, the newly wedded falls prostrate over the lifeless form of her lover and expires. It is thus they are found by the groom, deprived of his prize dishonorably acquired. The two lovers are hurled together, under great grief at their untimely demise.
