The story concerns the Queen Tamara, who from her castle window high up in the mountains entices a young traveller into her clutches. They spend the evening feasting and dancing, but the Queen tuddenly grows tired of her lover and stabs him, and the body is thrown into the river below. Queen Tamara returns to her window, and the drama begins over again.
