Temperance is a very old woman, good, simple and naive. She lives in a small isolated house in the valley, he knows the powers of herbal medicines and helping young girls to conquer with love potions and formulas, with the sole reward of a basket of onions. Unfortunately he made the mistake of having the king's son fell in love with Judith, a commoner. Everybody knows that's not his fault: they saw the girl climb the path leading to the house of Temperance, after a few days the prince seems crazy love, he rejects the authority of the father who wants him to marry her cousin and screams to the world his love for Judith.
Temperance is condemned to the stake by the king. The guards dragged her away by force from his home. The poor woman is tosata, spogliata e poi vestita con una tunica rozza, viene incatenata su di uno sgabello messo al centro di una siepe di arbusti secchi e infine la bruciano. Temperanza soffoca a causa del fumo e il suo corpo diventa cenere!
Il popolo assiste all’orribile spettacolo, nella convinzione che il male sia stato vinto, mentre Giuditta e il principe scappano lontano, protetti dall’anima di Temperanza!
