For the naval lieutenant Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, his marriage to Cio-Cio-San, known as Butterfly, is a non-committal convenience during his stay in Nagasaki.
Cio-Cio-San, on the other hand, takes the marriage very seriously. She converts to the Christian faith and accepts the break with her family. Pinkerton returns to the USA.
When he returns three years later, he is accompanied by his new wife. They come to take the child that Cio-Cio-San gave birth to after Pinkerton's departure. She prepares the child for departure and takes her own life.
