The violent Duke of Ordow desires Dorliska and attacks her husband Torvaldo, leaving him for dead.

Torvaldo survives and enters the castle in disguise, but Dorliska inadvertently reveals who he is. The Duke sentences him to death. Carlotta, Giorgio and their allies conspire to free the couple; Carlotta steals the prison keys and Dorliska reunites with Torvaldo. The Duke discovers them, but a crowd of rebels storms the castle, captures him and frees the couple.
