At a party, Roméo Montaigu and Juliette Capulet fall in love.

Since the two families are blood enemies, this love and the upcoming wedding must remain secret. Since Juliette is about to be married off by her unsuspecting father, she takes a drug that puts her into a death-like sleep. The apparent dead is buried in the crypt. Roméo, believing her to be dead, takes a poison potion from her grave. When Juliette awakens and sees her dying husband in front of her, she stabs herself.
