Ginhara, daughter of the King of Thebes, having fallen into an ambush, is rescued by Alberich, a barbarian chief. In gratitude and love, Ginhara, before a great assemblage of her people, chooses her deliverer, the brave Alberich, to be her husband. Haltar, a rejected lover of the Princess, enraged at the union between his beloved and Alberich, declares war on the kingdom of Ginhara, and in a fierce battle, Alberich is slain. Ginhara is prostrate with grief, but she resolves before she leaves this world, to revenge the death of her dear husband. Accordingly, adorned in her richest jewels, she seeks the camp of Haltar, who, upon her arrival, conceives the idea that Ginhara has been won over by his daring exploits. Ginhara keeps the Prince in ignorance as to the real motive of her errand a sufficient length of time, and then is successful in administering a dose of poison to her hated enemy. This done, she considers her mission in this life ended, her one desire is to seek her departed loved one. Without delay, then, she partakes of a poisoned fruit, and expires. Her body, when discovered, is laid in the chamber where her husband sleeps the sleep eternal, and amidst the reverend sorrow of their people, the two, reunited in death, are borne to their last, long resting place.
