The year is 1792. Gustav III is planning a masked ball to be held in the Royal Opera House. On the invitation list his eye is caught by the name of his secret love Amelia (the wife of his secretary Count Holberg) who warns him that there is a plot against his life. A bishop requests the king to banish a notorious sorceress; but the page Otto defends her, and the king decides to test the case by consulting her himself in disguise.
