Can a great actor become a powerful ruler?

The Crown Prince invited four famous Venetian comedians to visit his palace. Among them is the charming Colombina, the wise Pantheleone, the mischievous Harlequin and the solid Scapino.

They wear their usual masks. Talented actors are used to entertain aristocrats.

But the litsedeys did not even suspect that the snake was in the ball.

In the heat of the quarrel over Colombina Harlequin kills the son of the king.

Could he pretend to be a prince? Will his blind mother bless the prince? The mother's heart should not deceive her.

Harlequin craves power. But the country is governed by the King's uncle. He does not need a competitor, he is used to seeing on the throne a puppet.

As a former actor to cope with enemies?

Exquisite performance with magnificent costumes and decorations. The game of actors is above all praise.

"The king himself does not rule, but the power of his name reigns ..."
