Details

The Christian rulers of the island of Malta are in heavy debt to the Turks. In order to raise the requisite sum. Barabas, a rich Jewish merchant, is deprived of his wealth, his house and his possessions. Ruined and humiliated, he answers treachery with treachery and embarks on a course of indiscriminate revenge with both tragic and farcical results.
