The Duke of Mantua is a serial womanizer. At a palace party, not happy with the married Countess Ceprano, the duke reveals that he too is in love with a mysterious woman he saw in church.

The hunchbacked jester Rigoletto jokes that the duke should have the countess's husband killed. Count Ceprano swears to kidnap Rigoletto's lover as punishment. Chaos ensues when the elderly Count Monterone arrives and confronts the Duke for seducing his daughter – a third woman! Rigoletto goes too far and the old man curses him.

Rigoletto's so-called 'lover' is in fact his daughter, Gilda, whom he keeps locked up at home. She has secretly fallen in love with the Duke of Mantua, who has come to her church in disguise. Gilda is kidnapped by Count Ceprano and delivered into the duke's clutches. Rigoletto hires an assassin to take his revenge. But before the day is done, the old man's curse will wield the deadly power of him.
