Set in Spain the storyline concerns Don Caesar who awaits execution in prison. While there he is induced to marry a heavily-veiled woman so that his death will be by firing squad rather than decapitation. The marriage is being arranged by Don Jose, a government minister who plans to later use the woman in a plot to compromise the King. When Don Caesar escapes he disguises himself as a monk and goes looking for the woman.
