reason, she hates her husband, who also has an obvious love affair with Myrha, the daughter of the Inca. The latter is also won over to the plan by false news. Finally, a sun priest is bribed to produce an artificial thunder at a temple festival and demands Murney's life because the stranger has blasphemed the sun. In vain Murney claims his innocence and finally surrenders to his fate in the face of the false statements of
Mafferu, Elvira and Myrha. The Inca tries in vain to save his friend, and his son Roka decides to free the threatened man by force of arms if the worst comes to the worst. The head priest Villac Umu and the fanatical people energetically demand Murney's death by fire, so that the gods' command will be fulfilled and the country will not fall prey to the revenge of the celestials. With the greatest reluctance, the Inca, harassed from all sides, especially by Mafferu, and reminded of his royal duty, finally gives in and has Murney led to the funeral pyre, where Roka is already waiting with his faithful to thwart the murderous attempt. The remorse-stricken women are the first to confess to having been pressured into bearing false witness, and when the head priest upholds the oracle's authority against all exculpatory evidence, the bribed priest also confesses his crime. Mafferu, crushed by the force of these statements, is ordered by the enraged Inca to be put to death in Murney's place. Murney, however, nobly asks to spare his mortal enemy, who is now punished only with eternal banishment. The Inca himself clothes the rescued friend with new honours, and priests and people praise the almighty sun. (Gustav Modes Text-Bibliothek Nr.78.)
