'Nionga, a chieftain's daughter, is induced by a vindictive witch-doctor to persuade her betrothed lover, Kasari, to plot the destruction of a neighbouring tribe. During the wedding celebrations, Kasari reluctantly acts upon the witch-doctor's advice, but is killed after setting fire to the fated village. In accordance with the custom of her tribe, Nionga is burned alive.'
