Synopsis
The Count sets out to make a private room for him and his Countess, built in such a way no one can see, hear, and most importantly, disturb them. But unbeknownst to the Count, his wife has set her eyes on the court minstrel. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's “The Cask of Amontillado” and Honoré de Balzac's “La Grande Breteche”.

The count seals off his wife and her lover. It's quite long to get there. And a bit crazy they don't realize the door is being sealed off, brick by brick.

Nice to see an early D W Griffiths film (I saw it on the Internet Archive). Although it's silent, there's clearly a plot hole - they can't "hear" the king raving with jealousy when there's just a curtain there, yet later on when there's a brick wall, he can hear them perfectly. Hmm...
