Ruy Blas

About the show

Valet and poet Ruy Blas secretly loves the Queen of Spain. Her enemy Don Salluste disguises him as a nobleman and brings him to court, where Blas rises to become prime minister and wins the Queen's love. Salluste returns and humiliates the pair by exposing the disguise. Blas kills Salluste, then takes poison; the Queen forgives him and declares her love as he dies.
