It is therefore no wonder when he even defies the power of the august head of the Spanish religious regime of the period by repeatedly declining to accord him due respect. Complaints are made to the King, but without satisfaction. Now, young Don Carlos is betrothed to Elizabeth of Spain, and since the King has no wife, the vengeful Grand Inquisitor, whose power in those days was great, connives to wrest her from him. Not only does he succeed in so doing, but he causes the King to fall in love with her; it is now father against son, and eventually the King wins her. But the Grand Inquisitor's dark work is not ended. He manages lo excite the King's suspicions against Don Carlos, and when he thinks the monarch sufficiently bitter tries to get his signature to a death warrant for the young man. When the King refuses the villain causes a false note to be sent Carlos summoning him to the Queen's chamber; when he arrives there swordless, on a mission of love, she tries to explain, quickly begging him to go. But ere he can do so, the Grand Inquisitor enters with the King, to prove charges against the Queen. The Prince, defenseless, quickly falls under the onslaught of the soldiers, but the Queen stems the fury of the King long enough to have the body searched and the note produced. The treachery of the Grand Inquisitor is apparent, and after he is banished the King falls weeping over the corpse of his son. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
