Carmen is a beautiful but wayward gypsy girl who works at a cigarette factory. She seduces Don Jose, a soldier garrisoned in Seville. He lets her escape jail and ends up in prison himself. But when he hesitates to join in her circle of smuggling friends, she splits with him in favour of Escamillo, a star bullfighter. Furious with jealousy, Jose stabs Carmen while Escamillo is winning a bullfight.
Other characters Frasquita and Mercedes, friends of Carmen; Zuniga and Morales, pompous officers; Dancairo and Remendado, smugglers; Lillas Pastia, innkeeper; Micaela, sweet childhood friend of Don Jose.
