Don Jose, a young corporal in Seville meets and is immediately bewitched by the Gypsy, Carmen. He arrests her for starting a fight in the cigar factory but on the journey to prison, she persuades him to let her escape. To repay her debt, Carmen becomes passionately involved with Don Jose. One morning when he awakes, Carmen is gone. Obsessed, he eventually finds her in the arms of an officer. Consumed with jealousy, Don Jose kills him. The downward spiral continues as Don Jose's fatal attraction for Carmen builds to a dramatic climax.
