The two lovers, despite the father's disapproval, attempt to elope from the castle, only to be frustrated at the postern portal. The lover, after a combat with the margrave's knights on the bridge crossing the moat, is finally captured and condemned to decapitation after being adjudged guilty of treason. On the day of the execution the nobleman and his father confessor are slowly led to the platform where the executioners, with their axes and the death block, are awaiting. The margrave, his courtiers and their retinues are in the box overhead prepared to witness the young nobleman's death. A surprise is in store when the priest and the proscribed one reveal their identity, the priest as the young lover, the doomed martyr as the margrave's daughter, she having changed clothes with her lover quite unknown to all. The margrave is baffled as they embracingly kneel side by side and lay their heads on the block together. The stay of execution is ordered and instead the ardent couple is proclaimed man and wife.
