The peasant girl Giselle learns that her lover is in fact a nobleman named Albrecht, who is betrothed to the daughter of a duke, and is so shocked that she goes mad and eventually dies. At night, in the woods, Albrecht visits Giselle's grave and is almost killed by the Wilis, vengeful spirits; but Giselle, who still loves him even after her death, intervenes to save him from her fellow spirits.
