The cardinal, driven by greed, and the Duke of Calabria, driven by jealousy, warn their widowed sister, the Duchess of Malfi never to remarry. Trapped in a court riddled with decadence and intrigue, the thoroughly modern Duchess defies her brothers' threats and marries her household steward. When they learn of the Duchess' love match, the outraged brothers exact terrible revenge.
