Un noble veneciano muere asesinado en su despacho. La joven viuda, Isabella, acusa al primogénito de la víctima, fruto de un matrimonio anterior. Sin embargo, la aparición de una carta de amor dirigida a Isabella por Pasquale, hijo del dux de Venecia, desvía hacia él las sospechas. Pasquale, sometido a brutales torturas, se declara culpable. No satisfecho con este desenlace, Segismundo investiga el caso y descubre turbias intrigas en las altas esferas de la República Serenísima.
