Synopsis
The setting is Nagasaki in the Meiji Era. The U.S. naval officer Pinkerton buys
the freedom of 15-year-old Cio-Cio-San in Nagasaki, where his ship docked,
and marries her without giving it too much thought. Pinkerton soon departs
for America. Despite his long silence, Cio-Cio-San waits for her husband's
return in the belief that "one fine day he will come back" and
turns down a new proposal of marriage. Finally Pinkerton's ship calls at
Nagasaki again. But he is accompanied by his wife Kate. Having seen an unfamiliar
American woman and learned the whole truth, Cio-Cio-San kills herself with
a dagger left by her father.
