- Synopsis:
The lecherous, tyrannical prince of Guastalla (Hans-Peter Thielen) falls in love with Emilia (Karin Hübner), the daughter of colonel Odoardo Galotti (Gerhard Bienert). He dispatches his chamberlain Marinelli (E.O. Fuhrmann) to convey her to him and obstruct her upcoming marriage to Count Appiani (Horst Schulze). After his attempt to send Appiani away on a diplomatic mission fails, Marinelli approaches the situation with less subtlety by ambushing the wedding coach with bandits. Appiani is shot in the fray, and Emilia and her mother are brought to the prince's pleasure palace. The mother correctly guesses the intentions of the prince and their corresponding connotations for her daughter. The father, having just rushed up to the palace, learns of the same from Countess Orsina (Gisela Uhlen), the prince's jealous mistress. He is beside himself with anger and wants to immediately bring Emilia home, the one outcome that the prince will simply not allow to occur. When Emilia is allowed to speak with her father in private, she asks for him to kill her. This request stems not from her fear... - Actors:
