With top-quality accommodation in place, couples can look forward to the legendary ballet.

A young Scottish farmer named James is visited by a sylph who proceeds to kiss him, leading the man head-over-heels in love with his mysterious visitor.

The problem is that he is engaged to be married and, despite trying to forget the stranger in the night, he just cannot shake her from his memory.

When the day of the wedding arrives, the young farmer is about to put the ring on his fiance's finger when the sylph returns.

The besotted young man will not let his second chance pass and chases after the one he really wants.

However, all ends in tragedy when he wraps his true love in a scarf given to him by a witch.

The garment kills the sylph, breaking James' heart.

His torment does not end there either, as his jilted fiancé gets her own back on him in a most painful way.
