The action of this play takes place in the sixteenth century during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The commander of the Spanish forces was Cortez who was received peaceably by Montezuma, ruler of Mexico. Later both Cortez and his soldiers behaved with such debauchery and treachery that much warfare ensued under the most savage and merciless conditions.

The play concerns the treatment by the Aztec priests of a Spanish officer taken in the act of violating their most sacred altar.
