Le Trésor
(Nidhanaya)

Willie discovers in a manuscript that a treasure lies buried in a rock and that whoever is prepared to make a human sacrifice will see the rock open up and reveal its treasure. Willie locates the rock, but the victim (who must be a young girl) is nowhere to be found. Then, one day, when he least expected it, a girl stands before him, resplendent… Ironically, he falls deeply in love with her. But his ambition is stronger: he takes her to the rock and kills her. Of course, the rock doesn’t open. He realises that Irene was his treasure and that he has lost everything.
