Bored with life, Fausto is about to drink poison when church bells revive his faith. He meets Margarita and falls in love; after she leaves, he summons Mefistofele, who promises to make him young and win her for him. Rejuvenated, Fausto courts Margarita, who comes to return his feelings and secretly invites him to her room. The entry does not summarize the final two acts.
A party of European travellers gathers at a spa hotel while journeying to Charles X’s coronation in Reims. A shortage of horses prevents them from continuing, but they learn the king will return to Paris and celebrations will take place there. The travellers resolve their rivalries and enjoy a banquet and musical festivities at the hotel.
During the siege of Corinth, Governor Cléomène learns that his daughter Pamira loves Maometto, the Turkish leader, whom she once knew as Almanzor. Pamira is torn between love and loyalty to Greece and finally joins her father and the Greek defenders. After the city falls, Pamira and the women kill themselves rather than submit, and Corinth is shown burning.
