Payment being delayed they make a hostile demonstration and the High Priestess addresses them. Salambo becomes infatuated with her and quiets the threatening men. Violating the sacred rules, he enters the Temple and forces his way to the Idol Chamber, where the Sacred Veil reposes, in quest of the woman. He is set upon by the holy guards, and tears down the veil and wraps it about himself, and while the priests and guards are spellbound with horror at the sacrilegious act he makes his escape. The Priestess, whose heart has been stormed by the fearless, dashing soldier, goes to his tent and persuades him to give her back the veil. After she has returned it to the Temple, amid the great rejoicing of the priests and the people, she goes back to Salambo and becomes the warrior's bride.
