Synopsis: | A Count, Senor Monteverdi, lost a big amount when gambling and so he got into a huge debt. If he can't pay it back, everything he has will be taken away from him. To solve this problem, Count visits a magician, Metastasio, who lives in an island surrounded by marsh land. Count has an unmarried ugly daughter and he wants Metastasio to cast magic on to a rich bachelor merchant in the town, Senor Domenico, to make him fall in love with his daughter. Magician asks a tuft of hair taken from merchant Domenico's head. Senor Domenico often visits Tartini's barber shop and Tartini is a close friend of Pellico, Count's servant. Therefore, Count leaves this hair-stealing matter to Pellico. Barber Tartini is an unmarried and irreligious person; he has neither wealth nor wife. For this reason, nobody in the town is willing to give his daughter to him. Barber decides to cheat Pellico by giving a tuft of his own hair instead of rich merchant Domenico's! But he does not know that Count's daughter is ugly and that Count has a huge gambling debt. At the end, Tartini learns the truth, but it is too late any more; nobody can recast the spell! Now, the ugly daughter, Senora Vittoria falls in love with Tartini. To get rid of her and save himself from this strong spell, barber Tartini must run away from the town and take refuge in a monastery. He can protect himself from spell's influence only when he is inside the monastery. Senor Monteverdi is not able to pay his gambling debts and he loses everything he has. Thus, Pellico is left without a job and in order to survive, Pellico takes refuge to Tartini's monastery. Since he is an atheist, barber Tartini can not adapt himself to religious life in the monastery and he wants to suicide. But, Pellico gives a tempting idea to Tartini: Killing Senora Vittoria! According to the plan, Pellico leaves the monastery and hires a murderer to kill Count's daughter. . . However, the plan fails. Senora Vittoria manages to persuade the murderer and so she saves her own life. Now, she knows that Tartini is the main responsible for all these problems and she decides to take a revenge on him. . .. | |||||
