Eventually Pluto seizes Psyche and takes her to his palace. She does not know who has kidnapped her, as Cupid does not let her see him. She invites her two sisters to visit her. They fill her mind with suspicions that Pluto is a dangerous man, and that she will never be able to leave the palace unless she kills the monster. Accordingly, Psyche steals into the room where the kidnapper is sleeping. Instead of finding Pluto, as she expected, when she lifts the cloak, she observes Cupid. She drops burning oil from the lamp upon Cupid's shoulder, wounding him. He reproves her for taking advice from her sisters, who are jealous of her because of her great beauty, and sends her home with them. Following comes a series of scenes in which Psyche goes to Venus and asks what she can do to win her consent to marry Cupid, and she sets her three great tasks, each seemingly impossible of accomplishment without aid, but Cupid adroitly assists in all of them. The first is, to husk the field of corn; the second, to get fleece from a flock of sheep; and the third, a beauty-box for Venus. She accomplishes all these tasks, with the cunning aid of Cupid, so Venus relents and Psyche and Cupid are happily married. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
