Leaving aside the sub-stories - Florestan has been unjustly imprisoned and his wife Leonore searches for him. She joins the staff of a prison disguised as a young man 'Fidelio' The prison holds many political prisoners. She finds her husband just before the prison governor 'Pizzaro' attempts to kill him. She saves him by holding off Pizzaro [with a gun / knife] a Trumpet announces the Minister for Justice arrival. He greets his friends Leonore and Florestan and then orders the release of all the political prisoners. Every one is ecstatically happy except Pizzaro is taken away for some of his own medicine.
