Description
When a king sickens and dies, his kind widow unknowingly marries a greedy successor to the throne. Since she is suspicious of his wasteful spending, he decides to use her habit of sleep walking to do away with her by leaving the parapet window open instead of closed. She is just about to take the fatal step when a voice rings out demanding she halt and awaken. The new king is furious someone dared interrupt his scheme and whirls around with weapon drawn but is struck by the figure cloaked in darkness and suffers the fate he had intended for the queen. The queen looks in vain for her rescuer, but all she can find on the floor is a medallion, a medallion that is now missing from the portrait hanging on the wall of her former husband.
