The film's theme of immurement draws inspiration from Balzac's "La Grande Bretêche", and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado". The king constructs a cozy, windowless love-nest for himself and his concubine. However, she is not faithful to her sovereign, but consorts with the court troubadour. In fact, they use the king's new play chamber for their trysts. When the king discovers this, he sends for his masons. With the faithless duo still inside, the masons use stone and mortar to quietly seal the only door to the vault. The two lovers suffocate and the film ends.

Au XIX siècle, dans la Californie mexicaine, le riche et prestigieux Jose Manuella tombe amoureux de Perdita, mais découvre que le cœur de celle-ci appartient déjà à Cortes, un troubadour du village au physique avenant. Cortes fait impression sur les jeunes filles simples et un peu étourdies grâce à ses douces manières persuasives doublées de ses talents de musicien. Perdita, qui a l’âme romantique, tombe dans le panneau et l’épouse. 20 ans plus tard, elle est le témoin de son erreur. Cortes s’avère être une personne dépravée, gaspillant son temps et l’argent que Perdita gagne en boisson. Le pire est qu’ils ont un fils, âgé à ce moment-là de presque 19 ans. Perdita se rend compte que l’environnement familial est peu propice au bien-être de son fils, c’est pour cela qu’elle va tenter de le sortir de là. C’est alors que Baja et Alta-Californie entrent en conflit, et José Manuella est devenu gouverneur. Elle fait appel alors à lui pour protéger l’avenir de son fils. Le gouverneur prend le fils dans sa propre compagnie. Mais peu de temps se passe avant de s’apercevoir que le jeune homme est bien le fils de son père et s’avère lui aussi une personne peu scrupuleuse. Ivresse, vol de bas étage, dérobant ses camarades d’armes, sont à son actif désormais et tout cela dans la totale ignorance de sa mère. C’est quand Perdita, sentant la fin proche, écrit au gouverneur qu’elle veut revoir son fils avant de mourir, persuadée que son fils s’est fait un nom. Mais lorsque le gouverneur lit la lettre, le garçon lui est présenté une nouvelle fois pris dans une histoire de vol. Le gouverneur est définitivement déçu par ce garçon, mais veut préserver Perdita. Alors il décore le garçon, fait en sorte qu’il apparaisse devant sa mère comme un héros. Une fois Perdita partie en paix, il est envoyé en prison où la sanction qu’il mérite lui est infligée.

John Wharton, the husband of a true and trusting wife and father of an eight-year-old girl, through the association of rakish companions becomes addicted to the drink habit, and while the demon rum has not fastened its tentacles firmly, there is no question that given free rein the inevitable would culminate in time. Arriving home one afternoon in a wine besotted condition, he is indeed a terrifying spectacle to his little family. Later, after he has slept off the effects to some extent, while at supper, the little girl shows him two tickets for the theater, begging him to take her. After some persuasion he consents to go. The play is a dramatization of Émile Zola's L'Assommoir, which shows how short a journey it is from peace and happiness to woe and despair by the road of rum. At the final curtain of the play, he is a changed man, going homeward with a firm determination that he will drink no more, which he promises his wife upon his return. Two years later we find the little family seated, happy and peaceful, at the fireside and we know that the promise has been kept.
