The 1860s: as the Italian independence movement grows in strength, Venice is still occupied by Austrian troops. At a performance of Verdi's Il Trovatore, a young Italian rebel gets into a fight with an Austrian officer. Fearing for her cousin's life, Countess Serpieri tries to intercede but loses her heart to the handsome lieutenant.
