SummaryHungary in the XV century. Gáspár Guthi came to Italy as a child. He can't remember his family. His uncle Károly called him home. He's bringing his Italian actor friends with him. He learns from his uncle that his father was actually torn apart by a bear on the hunt and did not die fighting the Turks. Since that time Katalin, the mother, no longer speaks.
The archbishop tells Gáspár Guthi that he had been called home to be elected king.
In the castle strange events happen. Gáspár's friend, the actor Filippo, finds out that Gáspár's mother murders a girl every night, so she stays young. A Turkish officer staying in the castle convinces Gáspár to agree to his mother's marriage to Károly because her recovery depends on it. But the hereditary bishop warns Gáspár against both the Turk and Károly. With the help of the comedians, Gáspár wants to force Károly to confess. He lets several possible stories play out about his parents and Károly. The Turkish officer Gáspár then tells us that he had to die because he was unsuitable for the Hungarian royal throne. The Italian actors put the crown on Gáspár's head, then quickly leave the castle where they feel in danger. But in front of the gate they are shot in an open meadow.
