Rome, in the latter part of the last century. A plague is raging through all that part of Italy, and death is beginning to visit households in the city itself. A rich and famous hostess is determined to crown her social career by giving a splendid ball for the most awe-some guest of honour of all - the lordly Death himself. Nevertheless, not one of those present at Lady Neville's palazzo on the night of the ball had imagined Death making himself known in the shape in which he does.
