The story is loosely based on Jesus Christ's parable of the prodigal son, from the Biblical New Testament Gospels, although considerable liberties are taken with the source material, chief among them being the addition of a female lead in the form of the high priestess of Astarte, Samarra (Turner). Micah (Purdom), a young Hebrew farm boy, sees Samarra and says he will have her. He demands that his father give him his inheritance and journeys to the city of Damascus. There Samarra seduces him into losing his inheritance and betraying his religious faith. Enduring a number of difficulties, Micah finally realizes where he belongs and returns home to his father, who forgives Michael all of his sins and orders a lavish celebration of his return.

Venise, en 1507. Le comte Alvise Guoro, débauché notoire, vient d'être assassiné. Pietro, un jeune boulanger, découvre son cadavre et se voit accusé du meurtre. Il avait en effet menacé le comte, qu'il soupçonnait d'être l'amant de sa fiancée, Annella. Le comte Lorenzo Parma, membre du Conseil des Dix, accepte d'assurer la défense de Pietro. Assisté par sa maîtresse, la belle comtesse Sofia Zeno, il commence sa propre enquête. Il apparaît rapidement que la moitié au moins de l'aristocratie vénitienne avait de bonnes raisons d'en vouloir à Guoro. Pourtant, le procureur Garzoni s'obstine à réclamer la tête du jeune Pietro.
