They separate after tender adieux. That night, the venturesome Don Juan serenades the lady, beneath her window, and is discovered by the Commander in the act of throwing a kiss to the latter's wife! A duel ensues, in which the Commander is killed by Don Juan. Then the victor retires, unheedful of the supplications of Dona Anna. Don Juan has married Elvira, and going into the church one day, he notices a statue which attracts his attention. Upon inquiry, his servant informs him that it is the statue of the Commander, whom he killed a few months ago. "Aha!" mocks Don Juan, "Ask him to dine with us tonight." Upon obeying, the servant is terrified to note that the statue is nodding acceptance of the invitation. Don Juan meets Zerline, the famous dancer, and invites her to join the reveries he has prepared for the coming evening. The evening approaches, and all are ready around the board, when the trembling servant announces the murdered Commander! Everyone blanches with fear, even the sturdy, mocking Don Juan himself! The specter pronounces the judgment of God upon the treacherous Don Juan, who is compelled by some unseen power, to place his hand in that of his awful visitor and submits to being led away. In a deep abyss, Charon's vessel is seen floating on the waters of the Styx, bearing Don Juan to his doom; on the shore in the distance may be seen in untold numbers, the victims of his infamy, eagerly waiting to gloat over the punishment now drawing nigh to the famous villain, the immoral Don Juan.
