From the website: "Carmen is a seductive Spanish gypsy, dancing dangerously with passion in the smoldering town of Seville where men fall easily to her charms. The free-spirited temptress gets more than she bargained for, however, when she ends a fleeting relationship with an army corporal who abandoned almost everything to be with her. In the end, even the handsome bullfighter she clings to cannot protect her from the jealous rage of the obsessed solider whose love she scorned."
