Noted as a connoisseur of pleasures, the Prince is faced with the charges that his favorite actor was in conspiracy to form a rebellion against him. The Prince decides to have the actor, Fancioulle, play one of his most famous roles and to have the other conspirators complete the cast for the play. The Prince is also known as a terrible and conniving man, so in his act of demanding a play before the death of the conspirator, he appears to have mercy for Fancioulle. Instead, he has him killed by a small boy while in the middle of Fancioulle's greatest performance.
