Il Mistero di Oberwald plot
"If you don't kill me, I'll kill you"
A Shakespearean drama: Sebastian, a young anarchist, comes one day to Oberwald Castle with the intention of killing the Queen. When he is shot during his intrusion, he enters the queen's chamber semi-conscious. However, instead of hysterically, she immediately falls in love with him, because he resembles her husband who died ten years ago. Sebastian urges the Queen to revolt against her mother-in-law, the Archduchess, and her Count von Föhn. However, these demand Sebastian's life in exchange for power.
