Her mother dies from grief and her father, almost deprived of reason, gives up his ancestral home for the roaming life of a minstrel. He wanders from place to place in search of his child. Mignon grows up without knowing her antecedents. She is ill-treated by the gypsies until her liberty is purchased by Guglielno, a traveling student. She falls in love with her rescuer, but he is allured by the seductive charms of Filina, an actress. Events come to a most thrilling climax at a castle where a grand fete takes place and where Filina is the lioness of the occasion. Guglielno's attentions to her enrage the untutored mind of Mignon into a frenzy of jealousy. She is about to commit suicide when the soothing notes of a lute played by an unseen hand outside stops her. Lotario, her father, appears and she confides to the minstrel and implores his advice and protection. The half-crazed minstrel is carried away by the girl's story and sets fire to the castle. This rash act is almost wrought with fatal consequences for Mignon. But it is the means of bringing father and daughter together and opening the eyes of Guglielno to the affection Mignon has for him.
