A lovely lady of the castle, annoyed with a small statue of Cupid which she believed to be an effective love talisman, throws it out from the balcony. The small statue falls onto the head of a passerby and wounds him. He is a noble gentleman and an officer, who is taken in and cared for by the lord of the castle. Between the young girl and the wounded man, a tender romance is born and unfolds, which leads them to their longed-for wedding.
